Description
The signs are unmistakable. The dog halts, his nose up, nostrils quivering. Every inch of him is poised. Moss has a scent.
When a hand is found in Gallows Wood, PC Lucy Halliday and her specialist search dog Moss must find the rest of the body. What they uncover is a killer's dumping ground. Like every case since her husband's mysterious disappearance, Lucy wonders if this one will bring her closer to the truth. Nico was a journalist with a reputation for getting buried in his work; Lucy is certain that this time he delved too deep.
With new DI Jack Ellis calling the shots, Lucy struggles to keep her professionalism intact. She can't stay away from these murders and a killer who may hold the answers she desperately wants. But with those at the very heart of the investigation withholding secrets of their own, can more brutal deaths be prevented?
The first book in the gripping new police procedural series featuring dog handler PC Lucy Halliday. Perfect for fans of Lynda La Plante, Val McDermid, and Susie Steiner.

A blistering beginning to a new series. Perfectly paced with twists and turns which kept me guessing... Louisa Scarr is one of the best crime writers in the UK. James Delargy, author of Into the Flames
Louisa Scarr has created something incredible. A story as brutal and deceptive as any crime fiction fan could ever crave. Graham Bartlett, author of City on Fire
An enthralling start to this engaging new series with an ending so propulsive I may have forgotten to breathe. Stunningly good. Marion Todd, author of Bridges to Burn
I adored this pacy, twisty, shocking thriller with absolutely first-class characters. I can't wait for book two. Cressida McLaughlin, author of The Staycation
A twisty mystery, characters you want to root for, and black humour. And there's a dog! What's not to love? The start of an excellent new series! Chris Frost, author of The Killers Christmas List
