How far would you go to save the lives you value the most?

A young couple in their prime is found dead in the marital bed. As they lie naked, staring at each other with eyes wide open - filled with fear, his colleagues assume a double suicide, but Detective Andrew Deans senses that darker forces are at work.

As he waits to hear the news he dreads most, Deans receives an unmarked DVD and the true meaning of horror is revealed.

Playing by the rules is getting him nowhere. Now, it's time to do things his way. But death and tragedy haven't finished with him. yet.

Mortain, James D.: - Former CID Detective with the Avon and Somerset Constabulary turned crime fiction writer, James D Mortain brings compelling action and gritty authenticity to his writing through years of police experience. He began writing in 2012, following a chance encounter in a Bath bar with SAS veteran, TV personality and author, Chris Ryan. James wanted to create a main protagonist in Detective 'Deano' Deans whose strengths and vulnerabilities were in equal measure, but frequently at odds. Using his own real-life experience within a busy CID department, James has created an atmospheric, powerful, gripping and often emotional story of life, love, loss, and a touch of the miraculous. James grew up and worked in the Bath area of Somerset until he moved to North Devon in 2012, where he still lives with his family and a crazy dog. He is a life-long Bath Rugby supporter and longs for the glory days to return.
