Skin and Bones is a brilliant first thriller in the vein of Peter James, in which a killer goes on the rampage in a quiet Sussex village, leaving only one witness - a woman fighting for her life.

From the author of See How They Run and All Fall Down, this gripping tale begins on a cold January morning, when a nightmare unfolds in a sleepy Sussex village. A deranged young man goes on a rampage, shooting everyone in his path before taking his own life. It's a senseless, tragic event.

Only Julia Trent, believed to be the sole survivor, knows that there was a second man involved. After being shot and badly injured, her account of the massacre is ignored.

Together with Craig Walker, the son of one of the victims, Julia sets out to find the truth before she's silenced for good. As they peel back the layers of a dark and dangerous conspiracy, they discover the slaughter didn't begin on that bitter day in January. And worst of all, it won't end there.
