Macabre murders plague a rural town as a scam-artist psychic races to find the answers in this haunting thriller from award-winning author Jen Williams, perfect for fans of Camilla Sten and Alex North.
As a child, Ashley Whitelam could often see odd things nobody else could: quiet, watchful figures she called the Heedful Ones kept a strange vigil wherever she went. As an adult, she keeps these visions to herself, but she’s turned her taste of the beyond into a career as a “psychic”­ – parting people from their money with a combination of psychology and internet research. When the Lake District is gripped by a series of grisly child murders, Ashley offers her services to the police for the free publicity. But as Ashley leads the police on a fruitless search around the small town of Green Beck, she catches a glimpse of those old ghosts of her childhood and, following them into the woods, she finds something she never expected: the corpse of the latest missing child.
The press fly into a frenzy and the police grow suspicious: either Ashley’s psychic abilities are real, or she is guilty of murder. Hounded by interviews and interrogations, Ashley teams up with Freddie Miller, a podcaster covering the crimes. As they investigate, Ashley realises that there’s no way to distance herself from these murders: whoever or whatever it is that’s haunting the Lakes is haunting her, too.
Master of unsettling suspense Jen Williams is back with another chilling, dark read that will draw readers into a gruesome and atmospheric nightmare.

      As a child, Ashley Whitelam was the sole survivor of a horrific fire at Red Rigg Fell, an English mountainside mansion with a sinister past. Now Ashley uses her notoriety to make a living as a psychic, though she hasn't had any visions since the fire. When her brother suggests she offer her talents to the police investigating a slew of missing children, Ashley reluctantly tags along on a search. Without warning, the visions return, showing Ashley the exact location of a body and throwing her into the spotlight. Traumatized and in need of answers, Ashley teams up with an American true-crime podcaster to bring new light to a dark and disturbing case. Williams (Games for Dead Girls, 2023) needs no introduction in the genre of horror suspense. Her winning mix of heart-pounding plot, eerie urban legends, unreliable protagonists, and full, lush character development will not disappoint. Recommended for all those who enjoy an extra bite with their thrillers.
