Coming Soon

A body in a shallow grave, a man buried alive, and an anonymous caller who vanished into the night.
When a woman’s secret rendezvous in a Lincolnshire forest leads to a horrifying discovery — a hand protruding from the earth — she makes an anonymous call to the police, then disappears.

It’s Sunday evening, and DCI Freya Bloom and DI Ben Savage are standing over the shallow grave of Oliver Trent, a well-respected family solicitor, still dressed in his suit with his wallet and car keys in his pockets. The initial findings are grim and set the tone for this gruelling investigation — The victim wasn’t randomly killed and dumped…

Oliver Trent was buried alive.

Subdued with chloroform and left to claw at the soil until his fingers broke, Trent’s death was not the work of a panicked killer. It was planned, methodical, and personal. Somebody got close enough to a very private man and ended his life in the most terrifying way imaginable, then called it in. Why?

As Freya and her team begin to unpick the threads of Trent’s professional and personal life, the bitter divorces he oversaw, the ex-wife who lost everything, the anonymous caller with secrets of her own, it becomes clear that the truth is buried far deeper than the body. The deeper they dig, the more dangerous it becomes.

Headstrong, sharp-tongued and impossible to outmanoeuvre, DCI Freya Bloom leads her team through the tangled web of grudges, affairs and betrayals that surround a man who was absolutely fine on Saturday night, yet dead in the ground by Sunday.

Set in the rural heartland of Lincolnshire, Into The Woods is a gripping character-driven crime thriller with a detective team you won’t forget and a mystery that will keep you turning pages long past midnight. Perfect for fans of LJ Ross, JM Dalgleish, Joy Ellis and Simon McCleave.
