The Gorge cover

In The Gorge, DI Louise Blackwell faces a chilling investigation involving a missing child and a brutal attack, all while grappling with personal loss.

In The Gorge, DI Louise Blackwell is grappling with the aftermath of her brother Paul's murder when she is unexpectedly pulled back into duty. Her new case seems peculiar at first: wild sheep are being slaughtered at Cheddar Gorge, a location steeped in local legends and eerie tales. As she delves deeper, the investigation takes a harrowing turn when a man is viciously attacked with a machete and a young girl mysteriously vanishes, thrusting Louise into a race against time.

The complexities of the case intensify as rumors of a mythical entity haunting the gorge begin to circulate. Louise finds herself facing not only the pressures of her professional life but also the weight of her personal responsibilities, including caring for her grieving niece. With the investigation into her brother's death hanging in the balance, Louise must navigate the unsettling dynamics of a local environmental cult that appears to be obstructing the case. The clock is ticking, and the stakes are higher than ever.

As she uncovers layers of deception and hidden truths, Louise realizes that she is not the only one harboring secrets. The chilling atmosphere of The Gorge serves as a backdrop for a gripping tale of suspense, where every revelation brings her closer to the heart of darkness—and to the resolution of her brother's murder. Will she be able to rescue the missing girl and confront the twisted killer before it’s too late?
