A dead farmer.
His son killed too.
A massive search to find the missing daughter.

There’s a sweltering heatwave in Staffordshire. DI Joanna Piercy arrives at a quiet stone farmhouse on the highest, most remote part of the moor to find a gruesome scene.

Aaron Hardacre and his son Jack have huge holes blasted through their chests. A shotgun is left, propped up by the door.

But Aaron’s daughter Ruthie is nowhere to be found. Is she also dead? Or is she the killer?

DI Joanna Piercy knows she must find the missing girl before it’s too late.
