toughest case of his career...Ellen Toole's therapist told her to
forget the past, but with her family story shrouded in secrecy,
that's easier said than done. The approaching long nights of winter

that her mother has kept secrets about a history darker than Ellen
ever imagined, Ellen must find answers about the past if she has
any hope for a future. DI Barton and his team are still recovering
from a particularly tough and grisly case, so a report of a
kidnapping, followed by the discovery of two dead bodies, is the
last thing they need. There's a murderer on the loose, and the
killer needs to be stopped before they strike again. This winter,
there will be vengeance on Ellen's mind, and DI Barton will
