Publisher's Synopsis
When young Neil and Sam followed the maggot trail on the edge of Farnley Wood, they couldn't have anticipated the horrors they would witness. Country boys, aware of the cycle of life and death, they never expected to find the naked, unrecognisable body of Sally Palmer. Dr David Hunter never expected his troubled past to revisit him. When he escaped to the quiet village of Manham, Norfolk he thought he'd closed that chapter of his life forever. Instead he finds himself assisting the police in an investigation that will shatter the tranquillity of the insular community forever.
