When Sarah Goode disappears after her boyfriend is found stabbed to death, she is branded a cold-blooded killer by the media. 

But when reporter Jack Garrett interviews Sarah’s parents he discovers that Sarah was a caring school teacher, a loving girlfriend and doubts start to form in his mind of the media’s judgement of Sarah. 

As he hunts for Sarah and delves into the town's troubled history, Jack discovers that old rites may not be a thing of the past.

Jack's girlfriend, DC Laura McGanity, soon finds herself caught up in the case, as the mystery surrounding Sarah's disappearance dramatically unravels.

Soon, Jack and Laura find themselves in mortal danger as they face an unhinged killer who is determined that they will pay with their lives.

A truly self-made man, Neil White grew up in a single-parent family on a council estate in a troubled area of West Yorkshire. 

He dropped out of school with one ‘O’ level and spent the next seven years living in bed-sits and on benefits.

Desperate to escape that life, Neil returned to education in his 20s, before completing a law degree at Lancashire Polytechnic and qualifying as a solicitor when he was 30.

He is now a Senior Prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service in Lancashire and spends his days in the courtroom and his evenings writing crime fiction.
