She thought of the horses, of the eyes in the earth.
She thought about that number, sixteen. That strange number.
Near the dying English seaside town of Ilmarsh, local police
detective Alec Nichols discovers sixteen horses heads on a farm,
each buried with a single eye facing the low winter sun. After
forensic veterinarian Cooper Allen travels to the scene, the
investigators soon uncover evidence of a chain of crimes in the
community - disappearances, arson and mutilations - all
culminating in the reveal of something deadly lurking in the
ground itself.
