A missing woman. A vanished body. A village that closes ranks. DCI Brendan Moran heads to the West Country for a quiet break, but Cernham is no ordinary village. When one woman disappears and another is found dead—only for the body to vanish—Moran’s instincts won’t let him walk away. The locals are evasive. The woods press in. And as Moran digs deeper, he uncovers a troubling pattern of past disappearances no one wants to revisit. Meanwhile, back in Berkshire, his own team faces a rising threat that could shatter everything he's built. What began as a peaceful retreat spirals into a deadly investigation—with danger on both sides of the county line.
