From multi-million-selling Joy Ellis, one of Britain’s best-loved crime writers, with over twenty number-one bestsellers.

Meet Detective Nikki Galena. She will stop at nothing to avenge her daughter. Under the brooding skies of the Lincolnshire Fens, she pursues the most vicious criminals.

An old cottage hidden in the trees. A missing girl whose body was never found. Has her killer returned?

Detective Joseph Easter’s daughter discovers a derelict cottage hidden in a copse of trees on a large farm.
Someone's been living there.

The farm-owner’s wife has been receiving sinister pagan artefacts, including a witch’s knife. Are they some sort of warning?

Joseph and his daughter search the cottage and
find an old satchel. Inside are photos of a beautiful girl, Jennifer Cowley. She went missing fifteen years ago. She'd been stalked by a young man, who was convicted of her murder, even though her body was never found.

When Detective Nikki examines the cottage, she finds something far worse.

The man who killed Jennifer is recently out of prison. Has he struck again . . . ?

The Setting
The Lincolnshire Fens: great open skies brood over marshes, farmland, and nature reserves. It is not easy terrain for the Fenland Constabulary to police: with remote Fen villages, dangerous and often misty lanes, and poor telephone coverage. There are still villages where the oldest residents have never set foot outside their own farmland. A visit to the nearest town is a major event. But it has a strange airy beauty to it, and above it all are the biggest skies you’ve ever seen.

This totally gripping mystery is perfect for fans of L.J. Ross, Angela Marsons, J.D. Kirk, Elly Griffiths and Ann Cleeves.
