Down to the Woods

DI Helen Grace 8

Summary

If you go down to the woods today, you better not go alone . . .

FROM THE MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR M.J. ARLIDGE
_________

The last thing Tom Campbell remembers is camping in the New Forest with his girlfriend, Melissa.

Now he is helpless, alone, and being hunted through the woods by a sinister, masked figure . . .

When Tom's body is found, displayed with grisly relish, Helen Grace takes the case. But before she can catch her breath, a second victim is taken.

There's a serial killer on the loose.

As something dark and deadly stalks the forest, Helen and her team must race against time to catch the perpetrator, before more blood is shed.

But the hunt will take Helen back into the eerie twilit woods.

And this time, she might not make it out alive . . .
