Nothing is ever buried deep enough.
X-Files meets The Omega Factor—set in 1970’s Scotland, this darkly tantalising supernatural thriller follows a psychologist and a lapsed minister as they solve an ancient mystery.
Primeval spirits are returning. It will take two unlikely heroes to save Scotland, if they can survive each other first.
In 1978 Scotland, a centuries-old yew tree burns—and something sinister awakens. Soon, the children of Fortingall descend into madness and panic grips the remote Highland village.
Malcolm Omen, a minister who’s lost his faith, is certain the evil is spiritual. Dr. Jean Crowley, a disgraced psychologist, is convinced it’s psychological. Thrown together in an uneasy alliance, they clash at every turn—yet can’t deny the spark between them.
As the madness spreads and secrets surface from beneath the Yew’s scorched roots, Omen and Crowley must uncover the truth before Fortingall is consumed by it.
For readers who enjoy supernatural mysteries, pulp fiction, Scottish folklore and slow-burn romance, this first novel in the Omen D.D. series weaves together a gothic atmosphere and psychological suspense into a darkly compelling mystery where the past is never truly buried… sometimes it’s waiting for you.
