A slick smart stylish - and shocking - thriller from one of the most exciting new voices in
crime fiction. On a lonely farmstead a 70-year-old woman falls down outside and unable to
move is consumed overnight by two of her pigs. It seems like a tragic accident except the
woman was well-known photographer Sophia Bertilak - and inside her house someone has removed
all her photos from their frames seemingly erasing her past... The first photo Sophia ever
took remains her most infamous: a missing girl who was never seen again. Forensic veterinarian
Cooper Allen is drafted in for the autopsy - and slowly becomes obsessed with the victim her
family and the crimes she brought to light decades ago. * Praise for Sixteen Horses 'Utterly
gripping exquisitely written' THE GUARDIAN 'Unlike anything else you'll read this year
Sixteen Horses is a deeply disconcerting ride. Irresistible' VAL MCDERMID 'Totally gripping
from start to finish' ALEX MICHAELIDES 'Original beautifully written terrifying and haunting'
