The Old Religion by Martyn Waites.
Another book set in Cornwall. This time in a village which is the sort of place people come to hide. Tom Killgannon is an ex-undercover cop and in the Witness Protection Programme has done just that. Some people would like to find him, but he has a chance here.
But then Lila, a teenage runaway comes along. This is unputdownable. Does he help her and risk his own security? Dark, fast, hide behind the sofa or chew your nails. Your choice.
