Folk horror meets ancient gods in a remote snowbound Peak District town where several murders take place…
---
In a lonely village in the Peak District, during the onset of a once-in-a-lifetime snow storm, Constable Ellie Cheetham finds a body. The man, a local ne''er-do-well, appears to have died in a tragic accident: he drank too much and froze to death.
But the facts don''t add up: the dead man is clutching a knife in one hand, and there''s evidence he was hiding from someone. Someone who watched him die. Stranger still, an odd mark has been drawn onto a stone beside his body.
The next victims are two families on the outskirts of town. As the storm rises and the body count grows, Ellie realises she has a terrifying problem on her hands: someone – or some thing– is killing indiscriminately, attacking in the darkness and using the storm for cover.
The killer is circling ever closer
