    "description": "Silence falls as the coffin is lifted out of the ground, yesterday\u2019s rain cascading from it like a waterfall. Glancing into what should have been an empty grave, everyone gasps at the sight of blueish-white fingers exposed in the soil below...\n\nWhen the body of a teenage runaway is found hidden inside someone else\u2019s grave in a small-town cemetery in The Lake District, an urgent call is made to Forensic Pathologist Beth Adams. Still traumatised by a recent attempt on her own life, one look at the beautiful girl\u2019s broken body is enough to bring Beth out of hiding for the first time since her attack. She\u2019s the only one who can help her trusted friend, Detective Josh Walker, crack the most shocking case of his career.\n\nBeth struggles to believe it\u2019s a coincidence that the gravesite was scheduled to be exhumed, exposing the evidence. Does this twisted killer want to be caught?\n\nThrowing herself into her work Beth discovers traces of material beneath the victim\u2019s fingernails that sets the team on the killer\u2019s trail. But this critical lead comes at a dangerous price, exposing Beth\u2019s whereabouts and dragging her back into her attacker\u2019s line of fire once again.\n\nWith Beth\u2019s own life on the line, the investigation is already cracking under the pressure. Then another local girl goes missing\u2026 Can Beth stay alive long enough to catch the killer before he claims his next victim? ",
