''Chilling, atmospheric and so gripping it hurts. The Dead House is a masterpiece. You won''t read a better crime novel this year'' MARK EDWARDS

On a wild October night, the body of a young woman is found in a remote country churchyard. She''s wearing nothing but a thin, white dress. There are no marks of violence and no obvious cause of death.

Who is the victim? Why is she here?

But another young woman went missing from the area a few years back, and DC Fiona Griffiths soon suspects a crime even more chilling than she first imagined.

Will she unlock the secrets of the dead house? Or will she become its next victim?
