Publisher's Synopsis
Alone in an isolated cottage, a young housewife waits for her sister, Jo. Struggling in the countrywide storms, Dr Johana Grey finally arrives - but the house, in darkness, is deserted... Mike Nash is on leave, so DS Mironova leads the investigation. The missing woman's husband is unaccounted for. Is he responsible - or the sadistic serial killer nicknamed the 'Cremator'? Before Nash's return, a security van disappears with its two-man crew, and as more violent crimes are reported, detectives try to make sense of the confusion...yet nothing is as it seems and no one is quite who they appear to be.
