A small town in the English countryside isolated by a severe storm, and a young female officer, alone and out of her depth. A troubled priest is brutally murdered, leaving behind a journal of the residents' confessional secrets; secrets certain people would have preferred he took to the grave. As word spreads, the pressure rises as the eyes of the town watch her every move. With no forensic team, no support, and a savage killer hiding in a turbulent town, is PC Sarah Gladstone up to the task?

I almost convinced myself she wasn’t real. That I had made up this beautiful woman to stay sane and give myself a purpose—finding her. And when I did, she was everything and nothing like I’d imagined. Beautiful, smart, willful…and broken. But it was all a mistake. I didn’t belong. Not in this place and not with her. I didn’t think I could tell her the truth of what brought me here. Because that truth would bring darkness and disruption to her already troubled life. And I was right.The proof is in the blood on her hands.

My name is Catalina Franklin. And I should be dead. When Death called my number, sending one of her Guides to take my soul, she didn't count on one thing. The Guide she sent - He was made for me, and I for him. Pulling me back from the arms of Death, Telor changed my fate - and his. Now we're left with the question of not only how he's still here, but why. Will we get the answers we need? Or will Death find us first? Only time will tell...but ours is quickly running out.
