Following his horrific confrontation with the entity calling itself The Devil in the village of Furlong Bridge, Matt Dixon resigns from the West Yorkshire Police Force. Having seen his wife brutally murdered, being shot himself and almost buried alive after an explosion in a deserted church, he opts for the peace and quiet of early retirement. For almost a year, his plan seems to be going well, but when newly promoted DS Jane Osgood turns up asking for help, he is dragged back into a world he thought he had left behind. Investigating the murder of a farmer and his entire family he comes to realise that his feelings for Jane run much deeper than those for a mere colleague. She is on the team trying to find the killer of a small-time criminal and when the two cases converge they find themselves caught up in a web of police corruption which threatens their own lives. Can they uncover the identity of the traitor in time, or will their new-found life together be destroyed almost before it has begun? Another fast-paced emotional rollercoaster of a story from the author of The Devil Trilogy and Notes From An Asylum.
