Dacre's End

Detectives Ally Emerson and Kate Snow are supposed to be taking a break. A week in a remote forest cabin offers quiet, distance, and a chance to recover from their last case. For once, there are no bodies. No investigations. Just the simplicity of being away. Until something is unearthed. When Ziggy, their cadaver dog, begins bringing back disturbing finds from the forest-first a hat, then a glove, a purse… and finally a sock filled with human bones-Emerson and Snow know their holiday is over. When a skull is discovered, there's no doubt: they've stumbled upon something long buried. The remains may belong to Matilda 'Tilly' Miles, a fifteen-year-old girl who vanished without a trace twenty-eight years ago. Despite years of searching, her case went cold-and hope of finding her alive faded long ago. Now, in a small, under-resourced town unprepared for a case of this magnitude, Emerson and Snow are drawn in. As they dig deeper, old secrets begin to surface, and the past refuses to stay buried. Because someone in Dacre's End knows what happened to Tilly Miles. And they may have been hiding in plain sight all along. Find out in… Dacre's End.
