The Great Beyond — Amy Cross

For fifteen years, Ted Armitage has haunted the forgotten corners of rural England, leaving a trail of missing women and silent graves. His methods are meticulous. His mask, flawless. But when a roadside encounter threatens to expose everything, the predator finds himself being hunted. Chief Inspector John Noad has long believed something was festering in Twist Valley – something the official reports never dared to name. Now, with fellow officer Warren Pacey at his side, Noad finally sees the shape of the monster. As they dig into Armitage's past, they uncover horrors no one was meant to find – and a truth that may not be entirely human. Charlotte Stewart escaped Ted's farm, but the trauma never left her. When the police come knocking, she wants nothing more than to shut the door. But some nightmares demand closure. To help stop Ted for good, Charlotte must return to the place that nearly killed her. What she doesn't know is that Ted has been waiting for this moment. And she's not the only one walking into a trap. In the end, the hunter, the survivor, and the killer will face one another in the shadow of something far older and far more sinister than any of them imagined. The Great Beyond is a relentless psychological horror thriller about buried sins, the illusion of safety, and a reckoning that has been waiting in the dark.
