Twenty years after the disappearance of his brother, ex-Army Criminal Investigator Oren returns to his family home to discover that human bones have been left on the doorstep.

Oren's ageing father believes them to be the bones of Oren's lost brother, Josh, but Oren quickly discovers that the bones are not just his brother's. There is at least one more body.

Faced with the horror of multiple victims, Oren is determined to find his brother's killer. But at what cost?

In a town full of long-buried secrets, Josh's secret may be the most shocking of all . . .

A uniquely gripping thriller, perfect for fans of Susie Steiner and Michael Connelly.
