'A classy debut' The Times
'Best thriller I've read all year' Tess Gerritsen
Dr David Hunter hoped he might at last have put the past behind him. But then they found what was left of Sally Palmer . . .
It isn't just that she was a friend that disturbs him. Once he'd been a high-profile forensic anthropologist and all too familiar with the many faces of death, before tragedy made him abandon this previous life.
Now the police want his help.
But to become involved will stir up memories he's long tried to forget. Then a second woman disappears, plunging the close-knit community into a maelstrom of fear and paranoia.
And no one, not even Hunter, is exempt from suspicion.
Gruesome and gripping, this startling new British crime thriller has an unnerving and original twist.

The best thriller I've read all year - I just couldn't put it down...fast-paced, fascinating and heart-stoppingly exciting
Spine-tinglingly frightening...hits the bull's eye from the word go!
Fresh and original...Simon Beckett perfectly captures the claustrophobic horror of a rural community in crisis...absolutely compelling - and deliciously scary
Excellent...plotted and written with panache, with high marks for characterisation and shock value...an absorbing, scary tale
In the mould of Patricia Cornwell, but by a Brit...brilliant
