Overview

The wind still carries the memory of a recent storm across the Yorkshire hills. But it's not the weather that's set the dogs howling all day... When police officer Josh Mason is sent to investigate a complaint at Cooper's Stables, he expects nothing more than an awkward conversation with the yard's notoriously difficult owner. What waits behind the locked gates will haunt him forever. A family has been brutally murdered. Amidst the carnage, two things give Josh pause - a cryptic note clutched in a corpse's hand: For Freddy. Tell Giles. But Giles Cooper is among the dead. So who was meant to receive this message? And two tarot cards. One viciously defaced with red slashes scored across a child's face. What do the cards and the note mean? And why are Josh's superiors on the force so determined to ensure he never finds out? A gripping and atmospheric crime thriller, perfect for fans of Val McDermid, Ann Cleeves and LJ Ross.
