'Unputdownable... Helen Sedgwick saw into the future and that future is now! It's an incredible book! READ IT.' Lemn Sissay on When the Dead Come Calling

Gone but not forgotten...

An archaeological dig exposes a brutal history and a witness finally speaks. It seems the wickedness swirling in the harsh sea air of Burrowhead might be excised at last.

But before DI Georgie Strachan can lift the veil of evil, a black horse is slaughtered on an altar in the woods and human remains begin to surface. Sinister rituals connect past and present but no one wants to see, or tell, or hear, the truth. Soon Georgie must face the question: where do the missing souls of the village gather?

‘Another triumph. A masterful blend of crime and psychological suspense, with a hint of the supernatural for added chill... An immersive, haunting read.’ - Mary Paulson-Ellis, author of Emily Noble's Disgrace

‘Those who loved When the Dead Come Calling… will enjoy getting reacquainted with DI Georgie Strachan.’ - Herald, 25 of the best summer books

‘[Sedgwick] sustains a suspenseful atmosphere of psychological and supernatural unease that will have you glancing nervously over your shoulder.’  - Herald

‘[Sedgwick] explores sinister rituals and missing souls in this unputdownable crime novel.’ - Scottish Book Trust

I found When the Dead Come Calling a bit too slow even if fascinating. This one is disturbing, creepy and enthralling.
A very close community, ancient stories and modern issues like racism. There's a mystery but... More
