About this ebook
'Great book and series! This book had shocking suspense... and some crazy twists!' Netgalley reviewer, 5 stars
Vanessa is chasing the ghosts of her past: but what if she catches up with them?
Forensic entomologist Dr Vanessa Marwood isn't in Sydney for the sights. She's hunting for answers - and Detective Finn Harper, renowned cult expert might have them. His expertise could be the key to exposing a shadowy organisation with ties to Vanessa's hometown and the glittering elite of New York.
But a few days into her stay, a shocking crime rocks New South Wales - seven bodies are found in an abandoned warehouse, cocooned in expensive Muga silk. It's macabre and ritualistic, and everything points to the insect-obsessed cult Finn has made it his life's work to bring down. Could they be capable of something this sophisticated?
Then, three more cult members go missing, and soon the clock is ticking on this unique and horrific case.
As the media and police force reach a frenzy, Finn and Vanessa must pool everything they know - and risk their own safety - to find whoever is behind these sick, statement murders, that are only the beginning...
Fans of Angela Marsons, Patricia Cornwell and Cara Hunter will be absolutely gripped until the final, breathtaking twist.

About the author
Tracy Buchanan writes her bestselling thrillers from the Buckinghamshire home she shares with her detective husband, their anime-obsessed daughter and Bronte, the greedy but adorable King Charles Cavalier that's always by her side.
She draws inspiration from tales told by her Sri Lankan grandparents and her mother's love of all things crime (reading not causing!). With a garden that's like a five-star hotel for wildlife, Tracy is also intrigued by all animals, especially insects.
Having honed her skills in travel journalism and communications, Tracy now balances her working days between weaving new novels, mentoring fellow writers, and helping companies tell their stories.
