Ma quel luogo è davvero quello che sembra? I Fletcher, infatti, hanno appena il tempo di stabilirsi prima di scoprire che sono tutt'altro che benvenuti.

Florence Lovelady's career was made when she convicted coffin-maker Larry Grassbrook of a series of child murders 30 years ago in a small village in Lancashire. Like something out of a nightmare, the victims were buried alive.

But now, decades later, he's dead, and events from the past start to repeat themselves. When her own son goes missing under similar circumstances, the case not only gets reopened...it gets personal.

Én gang morder, altid morder. En julidag i 1999 afdækker kloakarbejdere fire børnelig under et eftersyn af et lokalt kloaksystem tæt ved Black Moss Manor, et refugium for erhvervsfolk i byen Sabden.

Hun har set morderens ansigt – og han har set hendes. Nu vil han ikke helme, før han har udryddet det eneste vidne til sin forbrydelse. Alene, bange, og ude af stand til at stole på nogen, flygter hun. Men den største fare er måske at finde der, hvor hun mindst venter det.

Es gibt eine Zeit zu leben. Eine zu sterben. Und eine zu töten. Die Familie Fletcher ist erst vor kurzem aufs Land gezogen. Doch die vermeintliche englische Dorfidylle entpuppt sich bald als Alptraum. Die beiden Söhne der Fletchers hören auf dem Friedhof nahe des Hauses rätselhafte Stimmen und sehen immer wieder die seltsame Gestalt eines Kindes.

He's a serial killer. A murderer of young women, all killed in brutal attacks. But despite Hamish Wolfe's conviction, he's always stuck to his story - he's innocent, and he's been wrongly imprisoned. And now he wants someone to investigate and, more importantly, to write his story. Maggie Rose is a notorious defense attorney and writer whose specialty is getting convictions overturned. At first Maggie is reluctant to even acknowledge Hamish's requests to meet, ignoring his letters. But this is a very charismatic and persuasive man, good looking and intelligent.

A dark moon is rising. A perfect black circle, barely visible in the night sky, the dark moon casts its void over the wind-scorched moor, over the soaring mass of a great limestone hill, and over the town that cowers in its shadow. The dark moon is the absence of moon before the slender silver crescent of the new moon appears again and people can breathe a little easier. The month is March, and the night is clear and cold, black as pitch.
