He Knows Where They Are

Everyone needs a safe place…

Haunted by past trauma, Cathy longs for escape—a quiet refuge far from the noise of city life. She believes she’s found it with her boyfriend, Alfie, at Blacksheep Farm, nestled deep in the Derbyshire Peaks.
But the peace proves fragile.

Looming over the farm is Bertha, Alfie’s mother, a cold, controlling matriarch determined to keep her grip on both the land and her family, no matter the cost.

When Alfie uncovers a hidden collection of hauntingly beautiful portraits, Cathy is instantly drawn to them. Compelled to uncover their origins, she sets out to return them to their rightful owner. But what begins as a simple search soon unravels into something far darker. Because the deeper Cathy digs, the more she senses the farm is hiding secrets, secrets tied to Bertha’s past, and to something that refuses to stay buried.

As the truth edges closer to the surface, Cathy must confront the suffocating hold Bertha has over them all… and the possibility that some histories are meant to remain hidden.
