When a terrified, bloodied man staggers from a boarded-up shop in broad daylight in the small Suffolk village of Evernam, police are called to the scene. What they find inside the derelict building sends the community into shock: four bodies, their throats savagely cut, arranged in a bizarre formation with objects surrounding them. The survivor, Mark Lingham, insists that the deaths are his fault and is immediately arrested for murder. But police specialist Dr. Cora Lael – a woman with the ability to sense emotional echoes from objects – hears a different story from the belongings placed around the bodies. Working with DS Rob Minshull and the South Suffolk CID team, Cora is plunged into a deeply twisted case with more questions than answers. With a rural community in disarray, a horrific murder scene that shocks even the hardened detectives of South Suffolk CID, and a suspect suddenly changing his story, can Cora unravel the secrets and lies to track down a brutal killer? A twisty, shocking, and atmospheric detective novel that readers of Ann Cleeves and Elly Griffiths won't be able to put down.
