At a hidden research laboratory ethics are dead and now something driven to hunt, and mate, and feed lurks within the forest … For her sins, disgraced cop, Javeen Latimer, has been shunted to the backwater village of Kielder, Northumberland. Set deep within the vast acreage of Kielder Forest, the pace of life is slow, the anonymity healing, and the job thankfully undemanding, until the body of a student activist is found slaughtered among the trees. Javeen’s investigations take her to a shady but well-funded research institute at the heart of the forest where staff have gone missing, armed guards protect the perimeter, and an incinerator burns 24/7. But with her investigation thwarted by a wall of silence, the killer continues to stalk the locals. As the body count begins to rise, Javeen realises that something far worse than being caught having an affair with the boss threatens her career. And that the horror has only just begun. And no one is coming to help. And escape is not an option!
