When private investigator Blake Hollow finds the body of a missing teenager on the moors of rural Cornwall, a deep-seated childhood trauma is reawakened...
For over 18 years, the veteran private eye has been tormented by the disappearance of her best friend. Now, reluctantly back in her hometown, Blake is shocked to learn that the daughter of another old school friend has vanished.
Troubled by painful memories, Blake is determined to find Lucy Truscott alive. But her search takes a tragic turn when she stumbles upon the young woman's mutilated corpse.
As local police detectives hunt for a cold-blooded killer, Blake is convinced that Lucy isn't the first victim and launches her own murder investigation. But is she wasting precious time by trying to connect her long-missing friend to Lucy's murder? Or has Blake uncovered a secret serial killer whose grisly intentions are about to reach terrifying new heights?
Circle of Bones is the first book in a gritty and fast-paced British crime thriller series featuring tenacious private detective Blake Hollow.
