Description
A child is missing. Three women have been taken. Time is running out for them all.
In the quiet town of Grand Rapids, Minnesota, a baby vanishes from her bedroom in an opulent lakeside home. It looks like an abduction, but Lieutenant Jonathan Stride suspects that her father has a great deal to hide. That same night, a young policewoman stumbles into the middle of a horrific crime in an encounter that will bring a sadistic killer right into the heart of her already complicated life. Meanwhile, deep in the woods, a small and shallow grave conceals a secret that Stride and his team must unearth before time runs out.
A stunning, clever and unputdownable fifth thriller in the Jonathan Stride series by Brian Freeman. The Burying Place will enthral fans of Michael Connelly and James Oswald.
Endorsements
"Raised from the merely formulaic by Freeman's emotional literacy, sense of place and an uncanny ability to wrong-foot the reader and produce a wholly unexpected ending. The Burying Place is far more than the sum of its parts." — Guardian
