As an adult, she keeps these visions to herself, but she's turned her taste of the beyond into a career as a \"psychic\"­ - parting people from their money with a combination of psychology and internet research. When the Lake District is gripped by a series of grisly child murders, Ashley offers her services to the police for the free publicity. But as Ashley leads the police on a fruitless search around the small town of Green Beck, she catches a glimpse of those old ghosts of her childhood and, following them into the woods, she finds something she never expected: the corpse of the latest missing child. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe press fly into a frenzy and the police grow suspicious: either Ashley's psychic abilities are real, or she is guilty of murder. Hounded by interviews and interrogations, Ashley teams up with Freddie Miller, a podcaster covering the crimes. As they investigate, Ashley realises that there's no way to distance herself from these murders: whoever or whatever it is that's haunting the Lakes is haunting her, too. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMaster of unsettling suspense Jen Williams is back with another chilling, dark read that will draw readers into a gruesome and atmospheric nightmare.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJen Williams\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer from London currently living in Bristol with her partner and a dramatically fluffy cat.
