Book 1 from the PC Lucy Halliday series.
The signs are unmistakable. The dog halts, his nose up - nostrils quivering. Every inch of him is poised. Moss has a scent. When a hand is found in Gallows Wood, PC Lucy Halliday and her specialist search dog Moss must find the rest of the body. What they uncover is a killer's dumping ground. Like every case since her husband's mysterious disappearance, Lucy wonders if this one will bring her closer to the truth. Nico was a journalist with a reputation for getting buried in his work; Lucy is certain that this time he delved too deep. With new DI Jack Ellis calling the shots, Lucy struggles to keep her professionalism intact. She can't stay away from these murders - and a killer who may hold the answers she desperately wants. But with those at the very heart of the investigation withholding secrets of their own, can more brutal deaths be prevented?
