Savage Truth

One whispered warning. One shattered family. One final chance for answers. Byrdie Willis was six years old when her mother vanished—and the Angel whispered in her ear. She never forgot the date: the 23rd of October, 1984. Now, following her father’s death, Byrdie returns to Cornwall to settle the family home. But the past, long buried, doesn’t stay that way. As she uncovers fragments of her family’s troubled history, Byrdie is drawn into the chilling legacy of Neville Savage, a serial killer now locked inside the high-security therapeutic unit of HMP Fenton. She never imagined there could be a connection—but the deeper she digs, the more disturbing the links become. Uncertain of her memories and haunted by the past, Byrdie turns to lawyer Eden Gray and private investigators Ross Trenear and Claire McBride. Together, they begin to piece together a story shaped by grief, deception—and a child’s lost voice. Who was the Angel who whispered to her that night? And what terrible truth was he trying to protect her from? Savage Truth is a gripping standalone book in the Cornish Crime series—a tense, emotional thriller where buried secrets rise to the surface, and the truth comes at a devastating cost. Praise for the Cornish Crime Series: ????? The outcome is bitterly satisfying... with tense prose and the breathlessness of a Line of Duty interview scene.
