A vanished journalist. A buried secret. And a team on the edge.

When the remains of famed investigative reporter Declan Rafferty are unearthed in the haunted depths of Epping Forest, Scotland Yard’s SIU is called in to solve a mystery nearly two decades cold. But what begins as a recovery turns into something far more disturbing.

The clues don’t add up. The burial is too deliberate. The story—too tidy. As Dr. Charlie Morrow digs into Rafferty’s past, her instincts whisper that the case was meant to stay buried. But uncovering the truth comes at a cost.

Tensions rise within the team as buried grief, old grudges, and unspoken loyalties fracture their once-solid bond. DCI Redfern’s cynicism clashes with Charlie’s intuition, while Calder’s rigid control begins to slip. In the silence of the forest, it isn’t only secrets that echo—it’s doubt.

Can they solve the mystery before their own foundation collapses? Or will the truth about Rafferty destroy more than just reputations?

Grave Mistake is a haunting, character-driven police procedural that tests the boundaries of justice, loyalty, and the ghosts we carry with us. Book 5 in the Cold Bones Chronicles brings forensic nuance, emotional fallout, and eerie atmosphere to the forefront—perfect for fans of Tana French, Ann Cleeves, and Broadchurch.

In this gripping installment, you'll find:

• A chilling cold case brought into the light

• Fractures within a beloved investigative team

• Rich, atmospheric writing and sharp dialogue

• A forest that holds its silence—and its dead

Some secrets stay buried. Others wait to tear you apart.
