Forensic entomologist Dr Vanessa Marwood has built her career on her love of insects and the vital evidence they provide at the scene of a crime. This doesn't mean she's ready for a killer who has woven spider silk into their victims' wounds.

But that's exactly what's in store for Vanessa when she receives a call from an old friend to come back to her childhood home of Greensands and help solve a chilling set of murders. Now she must put her move to New York on hold and return to a place she swore she would not.

It's not long before Vanessa realises, she's been lured into a dangerous trap by an insect obsessed killer.

The case and dark secrets from her childhood are drawing her deeper and deeper into an entangled web of secrets and lies.

Can she solve the case or will the past close in on her?

A twisted killer. A tangled web of lies. Dr Vanessa Marwood's past is coming back to haunt her...

When three bodies are found in the grounds of an old butterfly farm, each with a small cut delicately filled with spider silk, it's clear why Forensic Entomologist Dr Vanessa Harwood is requested on the scene.

Vanessa swore she'd never go back to Greensands. Not after what happened. She still remembers running through the long grass, his hand grasping for hers. Then suddenly, her brother was gone - Vincent was only twelve, and it was her fault.

Besides, her bags are packed, she has a ticket for New York and a new job. Then her oldest friend, DCI Paul Truss, begs her for help - and she knows it's time to come home. But it's not long before another body turns up and Vanessa realises she's been lured into a deadly trap.

A dark case unfolds in New York City

Forensic entomologist Dr Vanessa Marwood is settling into her new role in Manhattan when she's faced with a chilling case: an Oscar-winning actress has been found dead, poisoned by a glittering hair clip adorned with a live beetle.

As a second high-profile death emerges - a fashion designer poisoned by an insect-encrusted watch - shockwaves run through New York's elite.

No stranger to the illegal trade of exotic insects and their use in status jewellery, Vanessa teams up with maverick NYPD detective Ru Hoshino to catch this cruel killer before they strike again. The case quickly unravels the city's dark underbelly - revealing a world of untouchable power and criminality.

When their investigation leads to the home of one of her estranged mother's old friends, things take an even darker turn for Vanessa, and she will have to face her past to make sense of the terrifying present.

Fans of Angela Marsons, Patricia Cornwell and Cara Hunter will be absolutely gripped until the final, breathtaking twist.
