About

Sixteen Horses Synopsis

'Irresistible' - Val McDermid, author of the Karen Pirie series

'Breathtaking' - Daily Mail

Forensic, dark and utterly gripping, Sixteen Horses is the debut literary thriller from an extraordinary talent, Greg Buchanan. For fans of Jane Harper's The Dry.

Near the dying English seaside town of Ilmarsh, local police detective Alec Nichols discovers sixteen horses' heads on a farm, each buried with a single eye facing the low winter sun. After forensic veterinarian Cooper Allen travels to the scene, the investigators soon uncover evidence of a chain of crimes in the community - disappearances, arson and mutilations - all culminating in the reveal of something deadly lurking in the ground itself.

In the dark days that follow, the town slips into panic and paranoia. Everything is not as it seems. Anyone could be a suspect. And as Cooper finds herself unable to leave town, Alec is stalked by an unseen threat. The two investigators race to uncover the truth behind these frightening and insidious mysteries - no matter the cost.

'Totally gripping' - Alex Michaelides, author of The Silent Patient and The Fury

'Read it, read it, read it' - B. P. Walter, author of The Dinner Guest

'Original' - Sophie Hannah, author of Haven't They Grown

Featured on BBC Two's Between The Covers
