About this ebook
A child is missing. Three women have been taken. Time is running out for them all.
The stunning, clever and unputdownable fifth thriller in the Jonathan Stride series by Brian Freeman, winner of the International Thriller Writers' Best Hardcover Novel Award 2013 and author of Thief River Falls and The Voice Inside. The Burying Place will enthral fans of Michael Connelly and James Oswald.
'Raised from the merely formulaic by Freeman's emotional literacy, sense of place and an uncanny ability to wrong-foot the reader and produce a wholly unexpected ending. The Burying Place is far more than the sum of its parts' Guardian
In the quiet town of Grand Rapids, Minnesota, a baby vanishes from her bedroom in an opulent lakeside home. It looks like an abduction, but Lieutenant Jonathan Stride suspects that her father has a great deal to hide.
That same night, a young policewoman stumbles into the middle of a horrific crime in an encounter which will bring a sadistic killer right into the heart of her already complicated life. Meanwhile, deep in the woods, a small and shallow grave conceals a secret that Stride and his team must unearth before time runs out...
What readers are saying about The Burying Place:
'Wow. A real thrill ride with lots of twists and turns. One of the best books I have read all year'
'The author keeps us guessing until the very end'
'Yet another treasure from an author who is quickly becoming a huge favourite of mine. Well rounded characters, a great plot and an all-round fantastic read'

This was the first book by Brian Freeman I read and I could not put it down. It kept me full of suspense and the ending took me completely by surprise, which I loved. Am so happy I discovers his books.
