Detective Mike Nash thought that moving back to Yorkshire from London would give him a quieter life. Little did he know . . .

Welcome to Stark Ghyll. A bleak ravine that cuts across the Yorkshire moors like a scar. Folk call this place the Valley of Death. And it’s about to live up to its name.

A woman’s body is found, waist-deep in the treacherous murk. She’s barely cold, but the crows have already taken her eyes.

One look at her ruined face, and Detective Mike Nash realizes: this woman’s death was no accident. It was murder.

The marsh has swallowed every trace of her killer. But not the victim’s identity.

A positive ID soon follows, but the victim’s name only leads to more questions. Longstanding misper Vicky Lambert. Mike’s been searching for Vicky for twenty long years.

Ever since the first time she was murdered . . .

Discover the utterly stunning new thriller in Bill Kitson’s bestselling series, starring grumpy but loveable Detective Mike Nash.
