Salt for the Devil's Eye

A boy vanishes in the Quantock Hills. Old ground stirs.

Lorne Turner has made peace with his life, learning to live with the whispering dead. Then a friend calls, seeking help for a Romani camp in Somerset’s Quantock Hills. A child is missing. The police are not welcome. They want an old soldier to bring their boy home.

Lorne, Heather and Ella, the village vicar, track the trail over burial mounds and wind-cut ridges, where small offerings appear in the heather and doors close to outsiders. But modern shadows complicate the search: Hinkley Point’s nuclear plant with its security cordons and floodlit perimeter; and a former policeman with his own agenda.

The deeper Lorne digs, the more the case eerily echoes the loss of his childhood friend. Thirty years have not dimmed the fear that some hills keep what they take.

Salt for the Devil’s Eye is book four in the Lorne Turner Supernatural Thrillers, set across Exmoor and the Quantocks, where ancient rites collide with modern crime. Expect fast-moving investigations through hillfort ruins and night-cold lanes, uneasy camps and a landscape that will not give up its secrets.
