This book was previously published as Blood Runs Cold.

The past is reaching out its cold and deadly fingers.

On the hottest day of the year, 11-year-old Blair Smeaton vanishes near a riverbank, leaving police baffled and desperate. Detective Anna Gwynne, still haunted by her recent trauma, uncovers a sinister connection to an unsolved case. A chilling dark web photo reveals Blair trapped in the same room where a previous victim was once held captive ten years earlier. A captive whose remains, found near Charterhouse in the Mendip Hills, form the basis of the cold case she’s investigating.

The killer isn’t hiding; he’s taunting.

With Blair’s life hanging by a thread, Anna turns to a dangerous contact who can navigate the murky waters of the internet. But will trusting him save Blair—or cost Anna everything?

A heart-pounding thriller that will get right under your skin. If you enjoy Mo Hayder, Jo Nesbø, and Angela Marsons, you’ll love this crime thriller.
