Death Walks Behind You - Scott Hunter

A missing woman. A vanished body. A village that closes ranks. DCI Brendan Moran heads to the West Country for a quiet break, but Cernham is no ordinary village. When one woman disappears and another is found dead-only for the body to vanish-Moran's instincts won't let him walk away. The locals are evasive. The woods press in. And as Moran digs deeper, he uncovers a troubling pattern of past disappearances no one wants to revisit. Meanwhile, back in Berkshire, his own team faces a rising threat that could shatter everything he's built. What began as a peaceful retreat spirals into a deadly investigation-with danger on both sides of the county line.
