A global pandemic. Two missing children. A reckless arsonist. And a detective running out of time.

It’s Autumn 2020, and the nation is cautiously emerging from its first lockdown. The streets are still quiet, anxiety lingers—and in the uneasy calm, darkness finds room to grow.

As DCI Greg Geldard searches desperately for two missing children, his investigation is complicated by a string of hare-coursing incidents, vehicle thefts, and a series of farm fires set by a dangerous arsonist. But when long-buried crimes begin to surface and tragedy strikes close to home, Geldard faces a test that will push his resilience to the limit.

Buried in the Past is a tense, emotionally charged police thriller, rich in atmosphere and packed with the authenticity readers have come to expect.
