Description

In the heart of the Staffordshire Peak District, a sinister secret lurks beneath the tranquil surface...

When nineteen-year-old Tilley McCleave disappears without a trace, the historic market town of Leek is in shock.

Detective Jessica Ryan is assigned the case, but things take a chilling turn when she discovers a horrifying connection to five women who were abducted. Four remain lost, their fates unknown, while one survivor's harrowing tale is etched into her traumatised soul.

Haunted by her ordeal, lone escapee Heidi Dawson has spent years confined to a psychiatric hospital. Could her shattered memories hold the key to unlocking the identity of the elusive abductor?

As past and present collide, Jess races against the clock to find Tilley and solve the disturbing case. But with deception at every turn, she finds herself questioning everything.

Can she confront her fears and protect her daughter from this devious predator?

The answer lies in the depths of the treacherous Peak District, waiting to be unveiled in a disturbing climax that will leave readers breathless.

Taken on the Peaks is the latest crime thriller from J.F. Burgess, the British author of the top-selling Detective Tom Blake murder mystery series, and is perfect for fans of Priscilla Masters, Mel Sherratt, LJ Ross, Joy Ellis, Rachel McClean, and Simon McCleave.
