'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?

MEDIA REVIEWS
‘Another triumph. A masterful blend of crime and psychological suspense, with a hint of the supernatural for added chill... An immersive, haunting read.’

‘Those who loved When the Dead Come Calling… will enjoy getting reacquainted with DI Georgie Strachan.’

Sedgwick’s writing is evocative and compassionate and always draws us back… For a novel which has its roots in the ancient past, Where the Missing Gather is a sharply observed story for these anxious, post-Brexit times.’

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

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

Praise for When the Dead Come Calling:

‘Unputdownable... Helen Sedgwick saw into the future and that future is now! It's an incredible book! READ IT.’ Lemn Sissay, author of My Name Is Why

‘Helen Sedgwick is one of Scotland's finest contemporary storytellers.’ Claire Askew, author of All the Hidden Truths

‘Sedgwick’s writing is minutely observational, clever and warm.’ Scotsman

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

“Chilling and haunting.”

In an impressively skilful way Helen Sedgwick has combined many different genres in this dark, disturbing, and atmospherically creepy novel. Set in Burrowhead, a tight-knit village on the windswept coast of northern... More
