The Charterhouse Remains

About the Book

This book was previously published as Blood Runs Cold.

The past is reaching out its cold and deadly fingers.

On the hottest day of the year, 11-year-old Blair Smeaton vanishes near a riverbank, leaving police baffled and desperate. Detective Anna Gwynne, still haunted by her recent trauma, uncovers a sinister connection to an unsolved case. A chilling dark web photo reveals Blair trapped in the same room where a previous victim was once held captive ten years earlier. A captive whose remains, found near Charterhouse in the Mendip Hills, form the basis of the cold case she’s investigating.

The killer isn't hiding; he's taunting.

With Blair’s life hanging by a thread, Anna turns to a dangerous contact who can navigate the murky waters of the internet. But will trusting him save Blair—or cost Anna everything?

A heart-pounding thriller that will get right under your skin. If you enjoy Mo Hayder, Jo Nesbø, and Angela Marsons, you’ll love this crime thriller.
