Whitesands: A chilling and compelling supernatural crime novel Johann Thorsson 9781835980675

Detective John Dark's daughter has been missing for two years. In his frantic and unfruitful search for her he overreached his position, and was reprimanded and subsequently demoted.

Now mysteriously reinstated to the homicide department, Dark is put on a chilling case - a man who killed his wife in their locked house and then dressed the body up to resemble a deer. A few days later an impossibly similar case crops up connecting the suspects to a thirty year old missing persons' case.

As Dark is finally making headway, a new lead in his daughter's disappearance pops up and threatens to derail his career again.

Time is running out and Dark needs to solve the case before more people are killed, and while there is still hope to find his daughter.

In the style of True Detective and The Silence of the Lambs, Whitesands is a thrilling and terrifying supernatural crime novel.
