What you need to know before your trail
A convicted murderer with a story to tell
Serial killer Michael Reave – known as The Red Wolf – has been locked in Belmarsh Prison for over 20 years for the brutal and ritualistic murders of countless women.
A grieving daughter with a secret to unearth
Ex-journalist Heather Evans returns to her childhood home after her mother’s inexplicable suicide and discovers something chilling – hundreds of letters between her mother and Reave, dating back decades.
A hunt for a killer ready to strike again
When the body of a woman is found decorated with flowers, just like his victims, Reave is the only person alive who could help. After years of silence, he will speak to Heather, and only Heather.
If she wants to unearth the truth and stop further bloodshed, she’ll have to confront a monster.
Travel Guide
Balesford, England
There is not much in the way of setting here but the place Balesford mentioned in the novel is fictional. There is a village called Bale and one called Ford in real life but they are in different areas.
There’s mention of the familiar Wetherspoons pubs and these are numerous throughout the country.
Grimms fairytales is regularly alluded to and forests and dark places are also everywhere and not just in your imagination.
