The dead didn't scare me. It was the living who gave me nightmares. Impenetrable fog surrounds the run-down hotel, damp cold sits in the old walls. In the midst of a winter storm, Dr. David Hunter is stranded in Snowdonia, Wales. The Forest Hotel is run by a couple who are anything but friendly, but the forensic anthropologist has no choice but to spend the night here. He is the only guest. The next morning, Hunter makes a gruesome discovery in the nearby forest. While trying to alert the police, he discovers that the storm has cut off the village from the outside world... Part 7 of the bestselling series takes forensic anthropologist Dr. David Hunter into the mist-shrouded Welsh mountains. Told in such a breathtakingly atmospheric and twisty way that only Simon Beckett can.
