Publisher's Summary

The dead don't tell secrets...unless you listen.

The girl's smashed-in face stared unseeing up to the blue sky, soil spilling out of her mouth. A hundred flies hovered above the bloodied mess.

Westerley research facility is not for the faint-hearted. A "body farm" investigating human decomposition, its inhabitants are corpses in various states of decay. But when Detective Kim Stone and her team discover the fresh body of a young woman, it seems a killer has discovered the perfect cover to bury their crime.

Then a second girl is attacked and left for dead, her body drugged and mouth filled with soil. It's clear to Stone and the team that a serial killer is at work - but just how many bodies will they uncover? And who is next?

As local reporter, Tracy Frost, disappears, the stakes are raised. The past seems to hold the key to the killer's secrets - but can Kim uncover the truth before a twisted, damaged mind claims another victim?

The latest utterly addictive thriller from number-one best seller Angela Marsons.

Bring on the next chapter

Loving this series and now getting to the fourth and final in this series I am hoping that soon DI Kim Stone will have another series of seemingly unrelated cases that suddenly collide and blow wide open. For Angela, I hope the pattern of DI Stone ending up in motal danger doesn't become the modus operandi. It's been gripping but I prefer the way the team works as a unit rather than the lone ranger!

I am hooked.

I am addicted and I have thoroughly enjoyed these books. I have listened to them out of sequence but have still loved the stories and the characters.
