Editor’s Pick

From multi-million-selling Joy Ellis. Her most baffling mystery ever!

One missing man. Two brutal murders. Mysterious strangers seen on the Fens.

Newlywed Detectives Nikki Galena and Joseph Easter barely have time to settle into married life before murder calls.

The body of elderly jeweller Jerry Glover is found sprawled across the counter in his high street shop. Everyone assumes it’s natural causes.

Nikki knows better.

Hours before his death, Jerry contacted the police to say he had vital information about a young man who vanished without trace a year earlier.

Then a second body is discovered in a lonely fen lane. Immaculately dressed. Garrotted with a wire. A professional execution.

Both investigations point towards Marsh Keaton, the newly-renovated country estate where Nikki’s own daughter-in-law works.

But that’s not all. In the nearby village of Keaton Eaudyke, frightened residents report eerie lights in the marshes, strangers appearing under cover of darkness — and a single blood-curdling scream that shatters the night.

Nikki reckons there’s something very nasty going on inside Marsh Keaton. She and her team are in a race to uncover the truth before more victims disappear.

Because on the Lincolnshire Fens, strangers never arrive by accident.

This totally gripping mystery is perfect for fans of L.J. Ross, Angela Marsons, Elly Griffiths and Ann Cleeves.

The Setting
The Lincolnshire Fens: great open skies brood over marshes, farmland, and nature reserves. It is not easy terrain for the Fenland Constabulary to police: with remote Fen villages, dangerous and often misty lanes, and poor telephone coverage. There are still villages where the oldest residents have never set foot outside their own farmland. A visit to the nearest town is a major event. But it has a strange airy beauty to it, and above it all are the biggest skies you’ve ever seen.
