WINTER'S CRY

The grim discovery of a body brings up a past that threatens to rip a community apart.



Whilst a farmer is tearing up trees near the boundary of a reclusive commune in the Welsh hills, he unearths the remains of a man, clearly buried years ago.



DI Winter Meadows grew up within this unusual community and uses the trust he has there to investigate the case. But he is knocked sideways when the body looks to be that of his father, who disappeared years ago when the detective was a teenager.



Taken off the investigation, he goes to stay in the village of tents and makeshift buildings, and makes informal inquiries. Reliving the time he last saw his father, he becomes convinced someone there knows what happened all those years ago.



But will the culprit want Meadows messing in their affairs? And if they get their way, will the truth remain buried forever?
