One of the most perplexing cases Inspector Peter Graveney has worked on. A car is dredged from the bottom of a deep pond after twenty years. The grisly remains of two bodies locked inside. Why is Graveney certain that this discovery is linked to a dubious businessman and the murders of the men working for him? And why does a young woman's name keep surfacing within the investigation after her release from prison for murder? As Graveney digs deeper, he finds more missing pieces to the puzzle and is faced with his biggest struggle yet - his own mind. As the body count escalates, Graveney battles with his own demons and in his desperation to solve the case, he allows himself to be guided by an unlikely source from his past. A gruesome and provocative sequel to the author's first novel, 'The Hanging Tree'. The Fallen Leaves takes the reader on a breath-taking journey, from the graphic opening chapter to the emotionally charged denouement. If you bury the past, bury it deep.
