The burning girls : a novel
by C. J. Tudor
"Welcome to Chapel Croft. 500 years ago, eight Protestant martyrs were burned at the stake here. 30 years ago, two teenage girls disappeared without a trace. And two months ago, the vicar of the local parish killed himself. Reverend Jack Brooks, a singleparent with a 14-year-old daughter and a heavy conscience, arrives in the village hoping to make a fresh start and find some peace. Instead, Jack finds a town mired in secrecy and a strange welcome package: an old exorcism kit and a note quoting scripture. 'But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed and hidden that will not be known.' The more Jack and daughter Flo get acquainted with the town and its strange denizens, the deeper they are drawn into their rifts, mysteries, and suspicions. And when Flo is troubled by strange sightings in the old chapel, it becomes apparent that there are ghosts here that refuse to be laid to rest. But uncovering the truth can be deadly in a village where everyone has something to protect, everyone has linkswith the village's bloody past, and no one trusts an outsider"
