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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaster of unsettling suspense Jen Williams is back with another chilling, dark read that will draw readers into a gruesome and atmospheric nightmare.","brand":"Jen Williams","offers":[{"title":"CROOKED LANE BOOKS |  Hardback  |  2024-04-09","offer_id":44663131668735,"sku":"9781639106172","price":39.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_480334c1-e2e7-4ab7-bb86-e70d21bd03e3.jpg?v=1704574421","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781639106172","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
