Showing results for "Into the Woods" in Mystery

Twenty years ago at summer camp, Paul Copeland's sister died in the woods, the alleged victim of a serial killer. Her body was never found. Now, Paul is the prosecutor for Essex County, New Jersey, immersed in one of the biggest cases of his career - a case that will change everything he believes about the past...and the truth.

If you go into the woods, you're in for a dark surprise. Thirty years ago, three girls followed a stranger into the woods. Only two returned. The surviving pair have never been able to remember what happened or what the fate of the third girl was. Local rumours talk of hippies and drugs and mystic rituals, but no one has learned the truth. This story is just what Rowan Blake needs. He's in debt, his journalistic career is in tatters – as well as his damaged body – and he's retreated to the Lake District to write.

Patricia Green, a 17-year-old girl, has been missing for 48 hours. The team on site have no leads and have asked the Edinburgh special unit for help. At first, everyone assumes that she has run away. But Truce digs deeper and finds out that Patricia has a secret boyfriend, much older than her. He also hears rumours about parties at Blaine Forest - a place with an unpleasant reputation, where once women accused of witchcraft were hung.
