FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING RICHARD & JUDY PICK AND KINDLE CHART-TOPPING SENSATION.Thirty years ago, three school-friends took a walk in the woods.Only two came back - their memories a jumble of hallucinations and twisted visions.Now, a figure from the past is returning to the Wasdale Valley - with more than murder in mind.All Rowan Blake wants to do is feel sorry for himself. He's lost his career, his book deal and his girlfriend. Holed up in a converted cow barn in the Lake District, he plans to drink himself insensible and brood upon his loss. His niece, Snowdrop, has other ideas. She persuades him to look into a mystery... What happened at the holistic boarding school at the edge of Wast Water? Where did three missing teens go for one nightmarish weekend? And how does a mysterious drifter with dark Shamanic gifts connect a series of seemingly random deaths?Rowan quickly discovers that in the remote and desolate Wasdale Valley, nothing stays buried forever.Murder and suspense are infused with terrifying supernatural overtones in this fast-paced whodunit set in the rugged surroundings of England's Lake District.This is the first novel in a Gothic Lakeland trilogy by internationally bestselling crime writer DAVID MARK - one of the darkest voices in British crime writing and the author of the 'essential' McAvoy series. 'Dark, compelling crime writing of the highest order' Daily Mail'Truly exhilarating and inventive. Mark is a wonderfully descriptive writer and an exciting young talent.' Peter James'His writing is quite brilliant' (Crime Review)"Gory, startling and a complete one-off." The Sunday Times on Cold Bones"To call Mark's novels police procedurals is like calling the Mona Lisa a pretty painting. Beautifully crafted, filled with flashbacks, horror, angst, and chilling detail" Kirkus Reviews on Cruel Mercy'Exceptional... Mark is writing at the top of his game.' Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
