Description

In the quiet village of Ditchling, former investigative journalist Ben Carter hoped to leave his past behind. But a disturbing discovery on a routine morning run pulls him back into a world of unanswered questions and buried secrets. As Ben begins to dig beneath the surface of village life, he and local doctor Clara Rossi find themselves entangled in a series of unsettling events tied to a long-standing tradition no one wants to talk about. Whispers of missing women, strange symbols, and an old family with deep roots in the area hint at something far darker than either of them expected. Set against the backdrop of misty marshes and crumbling ruins, First Blood is a chilling mystery about the cost of truth in a community built on silence. Taut, atmospheric, and deeply unsettling, this thriller will keep readers turning pages late into the night. Comparable works include The Wicker Man
