‘Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.’ — Sir Walter Scott, Marmion (1808) On a bleak December night on a Kent motorway, Detective Inspector Harry Baxendale is called to a fatal car crash that’s anything but routine. A man is dead, and a teenage girl seen by witnesses at the scene has vanished. The next morning, a traumatised young woman is found lying on a centuries-old grave near the crash site – claiming to have narrowly escaped abduction. As Harry and Police Constable Lucy Fenton search for answers, their investigation leads them through a tangle of mysteries, secrets and lies, while the body count begins to rise. Still reeling from the loss of his partner, former journalist Lenny Grey is reluctantly drawn into the case. His discoveries take him from an eerie Kent graveyard to the icy streets of Toronto, uncovering a chilling link between present-day murders and the tragic fate of twin sisters wronged in the eighteenth century. As Christmas and New Year’s approach, a final confrontation looms – and Harry is forced into a choice that will haunt him forever.
