Winterhill is a gripping historical thriller set in the eerie and isolated village of Winterhill, just outside of London in the early 1900s. The story follows the weary but brilliant Detective Arthur Ward, a veteran of London's police force who is haunted by the unsolved mysteries of his past and the tragic death of his wife. On the brink of retirement, Ward is called to Winterhill to investigate the sudden disappearance of the mayor's wife, Emma Wilkins-a case that quickly spirals into something far more sinister.

Winterhill is no ordinary village. Shrouded in mist and steeped in centuries-old superstitions, its residents live in the shadow of a dark and ancient curse. As Ward delves deeper into the mystery, he uncovers the legend of a serial killer known only as "The Shadow," a figure who has left a trail of death and enigmatic clues over the years. Every step he takes brings him closer to uncovering the truth-truths that the village has kept hidden for generations.

But as Ward uncovers the secrets buried in the village's past, he realizes that the evil in Winterhill is not just a story from old wives' tales. It is very real, and it has been waiting for someone to challenge it. With each revelation, Ward is drawn further into a web of deceit, murder, and malevolent forces that threaten not only the village but his own sanity.
