# Sixteen Horses

"Dark, visceral and disturbing, this highly suspenseful and beautifully written thriller is totally gripping from start to finish. A hugely impressive debut." **\--Alex Michaelides, author of _The Silent Patient_ and _The Maidens_**

**A literary thriller from stunning new talent Greg Buchanan, _Sixteen Horses_ is a story of enduring guilt, trauma, and punishment, set in a small seaside community the rest of the world has left behind.**

A series of crimes comes to light**\--**disappearances, arson, and mutilations**\--**and in the dark days that follow, the town slips into panic and paranoia. Everything is not as it seems. Anyone could be a suspect. And as Cooper finds herself unable to leave town, Alec is stalked by an unseen threat. The two investigators race to uncover the truth behind these frightened and insidious mysteries**\--**no matter the cost.
