Lilith Benley and her mother were rumoured to be witches. And when they killed two teenage girls and fed their bodies to their pigs, they were swiftly brought to justice. Eighteen years later, a young woman is found brutally murdered at a neighbouring farm, just as Lilith, recently released from prison, returns to her old home. The farm is the setting for a celebrity TV show and when DI Wesley Peterson is called in to investigate, he has to deal with fragile egos and hidden truths.

But when Lilith vanishes and a celebrity dies in grisly circumstances, Wesley knows it is up to him to uncover terrible secrets and lies from the past and bring a dangerous killer to justice -- a killer who will stop at nothing to dispense vengeance and death.
Summary:
Lilith Benley and her mother, rumoured to be witches, were convicted of the brutal murder of two teenage girls. Eighteen years later Lilith is released from prison, and shortly after she returns to her old home, a young woman is found dead at a neighbouring farm where a celebrity reality TV show is being filmed. When DI Wesley Peterson is called in to investigate he has to deal with fragile egos and hidden truths, as well as the possibility that Lilith Benley has killed again. Meanwhile, archaeologist Neil Watson discovers a gruesome wax doll at a house that once belonged to a woman hanged for witchcraft in the seventeenth century. And when Neil has a near fatal accident, some suspect a supernatural connection. Even though Wesley has problems closer to home to solve, it is up to him to uncover terrible secrets, banish dark shadows collected in the past and bring a dangerous killer to justice - a killer who will stop at nothing to dispense vengeance and death.
