'Truly chilling. Sally Spedding at her story-telling best.' - David Evans
Delphine Rougier, while training to become a gendarme in the Corrèze, witnesses a middle-aged couple emptying a suspicious-looking liquid into a nearby stream.
It's poison, but why?
The couple vanish and Delphine finds their car a burnt-out wreck. Also, their farm's cows have been savaged by wolves previously unseen in the region. There are more questions than answers.
Meanwhile, her mother's killer, Patrick Gauffroi, has been sprung from a Paris jail. Who helped him escape, and why?
Is Gauffroi now stalking Delphine?
She becomes stretched on more than one front. Friends become enemies.
But Delphine is determined to uncover the truth, in relation to both her investigation and the true character of Gauffroi.
Welsh-born, award-winning Sally Spedding's dark crime/thrillers, short stories and poetry are inspired by Wales and France where she lives. She is also the author of the Detective Inspector John Lyon thriller series.
