The cocker spaniel successfully completes his mission and, a few days later, tracks down another body nearby. Someone has been systematically dumping their victims here. Lucy is convinced that her husband Nico, an investigative journalist who disappeared without a trace two years ago, could be among them. Now she just has to convince her commanding officer, Detective Inspector Jack Ellis. However, the tension that Lucy's obsession creates within the investigating team is exactly what the killer needs and wants in order to strike again... Gallows Wood begins the series of cases featuring Constable Lucy Halliday and her indispensable canine partners.
