Everyone makes mistakes.

But what if your biggest mistake was something you could never live down?

Something so awful and despicable that it weighs daily on your soul?

Now, years later, a knock on his door brings terrifying news. Old wounds are suddenly reopened, threatening to tear Nathan's whole world apart, as he comes face to face with the bleak landscape of lies and deception that has become his life.

Can you ever really bury your guiltiest secret?

Praise for this book

“Burial is not only a page-turner, but also a sensitive and atmospheric portrayal of a man at the end of his tether....Creepy, unsettling, and subtle.” —The Guardian (UK)

“This compulsive page-turner is a thrilling read.” —The Sun (UK)

“Cross marries literary values to the page-turning crime narrative...There are some readers who won't thank Cross for taking them into such moral terra incognita, but even those feeling a little grubby won't be able to deny the author's sheer mastery of his unsettling task.” —The Independent (UK)

“Stunning...it has been a long time since I've read a novel so compelling, chilling and satisfying.” —Peter James, London Times bestselling author of Dead Man's Footsteps
