You will never look at a scarecrow the same way again…
Inspector Ben Johnson was a murder specialist, and when a missing persons report suggests there is a murderous rampage targeting property developers and builders tearing through his village, he has to find the killer before a member of his own team is killed.
Can he track down this killer before it’s too late, or will he be mourning more than just strangers?
And why are there no crows in one particular field? Could the new scarecrows play a role in the murder mystery, or are they just a distraction from the real crime?

What I found was something far older and far darker than I ever imagined. The forest doesn't just hide secrets; it feeds on them. Time bends. Memories bleed into the bark and the soil. And something watches from the shadows - faceless, patient, and knowing exactly who you are.
