A missing woman. A cold case. A dark secret, buried deep beneath the Yorkshire Dales.

Summer 1997. Vicky Mott slips out the door of her remote stone cottage, and into the pale dawn light. She won't wake her friends. Not after the night they just had.

She scrawls a note, her hand trembling with excitement. Gone to see the sun rise. V xxx

That's the last anyone ever hears from vibrant twenty-year-old Vicky.

Everyone warned her. Of the predator stalking the lush green fells. Convicted killer Terence Bielby. He strangled three hikers before he got to Vicky. Now he has her blood on his hands, too.

It's only a matter of time until the evidence surfaces . . .

2019. A human skeleton is discovered in a dark and treacherous cave beneath the Dales. The final resting place of Vicky Mott?

Detectives Leo Donovan and Shan Young think they've found the key to this decades-old mystery. But every answer they unearth only leads to more questions.

All Donovan's instincts tell him that, this time, Bielby's innocent.

But if the Fellside Strangler didn't do it, then who?

The truth is darker than the twisty network of caves beneath the detectives' feet.

**Cath Staincliffe has been shortlisted six times for the prestigious CWA Dagger Awards.**
