Welcome to the dark heart of Cornwall.
Book 1: The Old Religion
The Cornish village of St. Petroc is the sort of place where people come to hide. Tom Killgannon is one such person. But when a seventeen-year-old runaway named Lila breaks into Tom’s house, she takes more than just his money. His wallet holds everything about his new identity. He also knows that Lila is in danger from the travelers’ commune she has been living at. Something sinister has been going on there, and Lila knows more than she realizes. But to find her, he risks not only giving away his location to the gangs he’s in hiding from but also becoming a target for whoever is hunting Lila.
Book 2: The Sinner
Tom Killgannon, ex–undercover police officer and now in witness protection, is recalled to active service by a local police task force, headed by DS Sheridan. His mission is to befriend notorious child killer Noel Cunningham and find out where he buried the bodies of his final two victims. The catch? Tom has to obtain that information from within Blackmoor Prison itself. Undercover and with no backup, Tom soon runs into danger. But why can’t he reach DS Sheridan, and what is the real reason he has been sent to Blackmoor Prison?
Book 3: The Gravedigger’s Song
Under a starless winter night in rural Cornwall, four killers dressed in bizarre folkloric garb brutally murder the terrified West family. All but one: traumatized seventeen-year-old Simon manages to escape. Later, fears that he’s an active target of madmen or criminals lead the police to once more come knocking on ex–undercover cop Tom Killgannon’s door. Tom is reluctant to shelter Simon, but villains are soon circling the cottage like vultures. When there’s a break-in late one night, Tom must protect his own. Meanwhile, a local by-election arouses dangerous nativist sentiments. When Simon falls into the clutches of a fanatical political cult that see a way to brainwash him, Tom must summon the violent man he once was.
