Near the dying English seaside town of Ilmarsh, local police detective Alec Nichols and forensic vet Cooper Allen are set upon a chain of crimes when they discover sixteen horses’ heads on a farm, each buried with a single eye facing the low winter sun.
In the dark days of their investigation, the town slips into panic and paranoia. Anyone could be a suspect and as Alec Nichols struggles to find a motive, more mysterious events begin to occur and all signs are pointing to something deadly lurking in the ground itself . . .
Sixteen Horses is the debut literary thriller from an extraordinary talent, Greg Buchanan.
