When fourteen-year-old Carrie Millington is found dead on the lower slopes of Blackstone Tor, the village mourns and moves on - or so it seems. Ten years later, Alice and Jake die in the same bleak landscape, and the quiet community is forced to confront the possibility of a killer who never left. DI Rowan, a steady, instinctive detective with a deep respect for the land, begins to unravel a case that stretches across a decade. As he digs deeper, he finds a village full of secrets: a vicar hiding an affair, a man with a violent past, and a loner whose knowledge of the moor runs disturbingly deep. But nothing prepares Rowan for the truth buried in the heather. Meanwhile, Alice and Jake awaken in a parallel community - a place of warmth, kindness, and impossible peace. There they meet Carrie, still fourteen, still waiting. As the three of them learn the rules of this new world, they discover that justice in the living world is the key to their release. When Rowan finally confronts the killer on the moor, the truth ripples across both worlds. And as justice is served, the dead are offered something they never had in life: freedom. A murder mystery with a supernatural twist, Blackstone Tor explores the thin line between the living and the dead - and the power of truth to set them both free.
