England, 1905. Disgraced and washed-up Chief Inspector James Huxley is exiled from London to the remote island of St Ender to drink the rest of his career away.
But soon after Huxley arrives, he is swept up in the brutal murder of a young local boy. What he thinks is a case that will renew his reputation with the Metropolitan Police, will drag him into an escalating nightmare that threatens his sanity and places him in the direct path of a hellish presence stalking the island.
If you like gripping and atmospheric period mysteries like Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow and Dan Simmon’s The Terror, you have found your next read. This intense and riveting mystery debut will thrust you into a twisted story of old scars, new wounds, dark magic—and evil lurking in the shadows—that will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout.”
