Detective Nicola Bridge returns in the thrilling new novel from Chris Chibnall, creator of Broadchurch, and Sunday Times bestselling author of Death at the White Hart.For its many repeat customers, Parkwood Holiday Village is a haven – idyllic woodland, a tranquil lake, customer service on tap around the clock.For Detective Nicola Bridge, it’s a crime scene.
When a body is discovered early one morning, Nicola is faced with an investigation like no other: hundreds of potential suspects, but seemingly no witnesses.
As she digs into the reality that lies behind Parkwood’s serene façade, she meets the exhausted staff whose hard work keeps the guests happy. It soon turns out that they are her best sources – after all, who pays attention to what they let slip in front of the lifeguards, cleaners and babysitters that make a holiday seamless?
But when the victim’s identity is revealed, Nicola realises that this might not be a one-off crime of passion.
There’s a killer lurking somewhere in these woods…
