A boy with a horror obsession. A town filled with whispers. A case where nothing makes sense.

When media student Nicholas Vernon is found murdered in Fishguard, DCI Evan Warlow and his team dig into his life and discover unsettling secrets: a fascination with the macabre, an abandoned house, and a trail of messages leading to a missing man. But as the case unravels, so does Warlow, forced to face his own mortality as he fights to stay on the case.

With the forensic evidence washed clean and local loyalties running deep, the truth becomes harder to find than the killer.

A gripping procedural with haunting undertones, this novel will keep you turning pages long into the night
