A young woman is assaulted and left for dead while walking the Yorkshire moors.
A local man is found murdered on the edge of a landfill site.
But what do these seemingly unconnected crimes have something in common
Forensic profiler Jo McCready is brought in by DCI Callum Ferguson to find out. Were the victims led to their deaths by the mysterious lights flickering above the bogs
But Jo has a secret. Local gangster and prison inmate, Chris McGarry, knows the dead man and wants revenge. He also has leverage on Jo, and as the investigation intensifies, he presses her to pass on police information.
Jo must tread carefully. Will she follow the light - or step into the dark . . .
Lesley McEvoy was born and bred in Yorkshire and has had a passion for writing in one form or another all her life. The writing took a backseat as Lesley developed her career as a Behavioural Analyst / Profiler and Psychotherapist - setting up her own Consultancy business and therapy practice. She has written and presented extensively around the world for over 25 years specialising in behavioural profiling and training, with a wide variety of organisations. The corporate world provided unexpected sources of writing material when, as Lesley said - she found more psychopaths in business than in prison! Lesley's work in some of the UK's toughest prisons was where she met people whose lives had been characterised by drugs and violence and whose experiences informed the themes she now writes about. She lives in Cheshire with her partner.
