About this ebook
Take a sip and enter the world of the dead...
As the station prepares to close down for good, DI Georgie Strachan is running out of time to find out what is really going on in Burrowhead and put a stop to it. A deadly drug appears in the small Scottish village, best consumed with the blood of a freshly slaughtered animal. But what does this have to do with the deaths and suicides? And who is responsible for supplying it?
As rituals and threats reach a frantic high, no one wants to speak. It seems the drug is ingrained in the very fabric of the village. Suspects abound as Georgie questions who she can really trust.
Praise for When the Dead Come Calling:
‘Unputdownable... Helen Sedgwick saw into the future and that future is now!’ Lemn Sissay, author of My Name Is Why
‘Helen Sedgwick is one of Scotland's finest contemporary storytellers.’ Claire Askew, author of All the Hidden Truths
‘Sedgwick’s writing is minutely observational, clever and warm.’ Scotsman
