The Dixon family house was once a crown jewel of the White Mountains. Perched on a cliff with breathtaking views, it promised summer adventures, winter skiing, and family gatherings around a roaring log fire.

Until late one August night, when both parents and their four children vanished, leaving behind a trail of bloody footprints, and a mystery that has endured for generations.

Thirty years later, the grand mansion is stirring back to life. For Raquel and Theo Collins, restoring their new home represents a fresh start after a terrible tragedy.

For Amanda Grady, the recently appointed police chief of Shereford, it’s good to see a fresh start for the derelict house.

But a new family in the old home can only mean one thing: the past has returned with a vengeance.

When a stray dog arrives and discovers a skeleton on the property, Raquel and Theo face a daunting choice of what to believe, who to trust, and how to survive.

Because in the tiny village of Shereford the time has come. A town, a couple, a cop must all work together to unravel the terrifying events that happened one night thirty years ago, or...

They will all be sorry.

I am sorry. I'm sorry that I wasted my time reading this trash. I'm sorry that other people went and read this book. I'm sorry that no one actually loves me. I'm sorry that I am apparently so unlikable and problematic that people feel obliged to warn others about me.

Absolute cracker of a story! Crime, evil history, folklore, sad pasts and hopeful futures all wrapped up into an unputdownable book. Thoroughly recommend.
