Awakening by SJ Bolton (Paperback)

“How did it all begin? . . . A few minutes before six on a Friday morning and my quiet, orderly life went into meltdown.
When a man dies from what appears to be a random snake bite in a quiet country village, the hospital seeks the expertise of wildlife vet Clara Benning. But the post-mortem reveals this was no freak accident.
Clara finds herself drawn into the hunt for a brutally inventive killer, putting herself in grave danger as she unravels links to a barbaric ancient ritual, an abandoned house and a fifty-year-old, unspeakable tragedy.
For someone the truth must remain buried in the past… even if they have to kill to keep it there.”
