Moorland. The Bride

Do Not Fear the Moor – Fear the Secrets of Others

As an unstoppable fire sweeps through the moorland, threatening to destroy every living thing in its path, the fire brigade makes a gruesome discovery: a victim trapped in the boot of an abandoned car. Shortly afterwards, the body of a woman is found, a disturbing sight, for she has been meticulously dressed as a bride. These two deaths in quick succession call investigator Malia Gold to the scene. She has known the marshlands since childhood, and her mother Ruth Sichler – known locally as a master tracker – assists her in the investigation. In truth, there is more that divides these two women than connects them. However, if Malia is to solve this case, she must make peace with her past and her mother. And then there is the fire, which continues to spread. It threatens not only to consume the evidence, but the very place Malia calls home.
