What Happens to Us in the Forest

Book 2

Five bodies are discovered after a fire tears through an abandoned lorry depot beside London's Regent's Canal.

​

For criminal profiler Sam Stirling, the investigation leads to an elegant Gothic house with a secret no one wants uncovered. As he peels back the layers, influence and political power threaten to derail the case before the truth can emerge.

​

Because some people believe they're beyond justice.

​

What Happens to Us in the Forest is a tense psychological thriller about privilege, corruption and the devastating cost of exposing the truth. 

Praise for Jane Fawley's first book, Where the Bruised Pieces Go:
 

'This is a book about the damage damaged people can cause, both to those they choose as their victims, and those whose task it is to bring them to justice. It is a novel of layers and nuances as well as being a rollercoaster ride. Sam’s and Emma’s stories hurtle along parallel tracks, and the reader knows that at some stage these tracks will meet in an explosive way. And so they do, but there’s also a twist in the tale that will take your breath away. In ‘Where the Bruised Pieces Go’, Jane Fawley has set a benchmark for psychological crime dramas second to none.'
