Dead Of The Winter Sun

The moor keeps its secrets. Some lie in graves. Others wait in the dark beneath the ruins of Project Winter Sun.

Peggy Cole’s murder should have ended with the body. Instead, it opened a door into the past—a forgotten sister, a Soviet scientist who defected during the Berlin blockade, and a hospital that vanished from the records, but not from memory. Its ruins still hum with sorrow and rage.

Drawn into the mystery, Lorne Turner confronts echoes of a Cold War nightmare: experiments that sought to erase trauma by erasing the soul. The victims, soldiers and one lost and lonely child, were left broken, their memories weaponised in the name of control. Their agony lingers in the earth, feeding a darkness that still hungers.

Haunted by war and shadowed by the djinn that shares his mind, Lorne is torn between madness and revelation. His visions reveal the dead reaching out from the ruins, pleading for release, demanding justice. But as the lines between science and sorcery blur, so too do the lines between saviour and monster.

Dead of the Winter Sun is book three in the Lorne Turner Supernatural Thrillers. A chilling, deeply human tale of inherited trauma, buried sins, and the ghosts that rise when we tamper with the mind’s deepest wounds. Perfect for readers of Merrily Watkins and Rivers of London.
