Tom Calder was having one of those days.
Loading delays, traffic and a rapidly disappearing driving window have left him out of hours and with nowhere to spend the night but a remote lay-by in the middle of the North York Moors.
It isn't ideal, but Tom has slept in worse places.
What he doesn't realise is that his bad day is about to become his worst nightmare.
Malcolm Rourke has spent decades behind bars.
Convicted of a single murder in the 1990s, he was once suspected of something far worse. Police believed there were other victims, other disappearances, but suspicion was never enough, and the evidence they needed was never found.
Malcolm's secrets have remained buried ever since.
But some secrets don't stay buried forever.
As darkness falls over Blackwood, Tom begins to realise there is something very wrong with the forest surrounding him, and whatever is out there seems determined to make sure he doesn't leave.
Two men. Two stories separated by decades.
And one forgotten lay-by where the past is waiting to be found.
Blackwood Lay-by is a paranormal crime thriller set against the isolated landscape of the North York Moors, where supernatural horror and a decades-old crime collide.
Because some roads don't just take you somewhere.
Some lead you to what was never meant to be found.
