Estranged from her family, furious at her parents following recent revelations, the Broadwick heir finds herself living on her own resources for the first time. Meanwhile two crimes are rocking the Apparent community. The Wrackton Digger is stealing bodies from the cemetery, and a new serial killer – the Wickermere Reaper – has emerged.
