A boy vanishes in the Quantock Hills. Old ground stirs.
Lorne Turner has made peace with his life, learning to live with the whispering dead. Then a friend calls, seeking help for a Romani camp in Somerset’s Quantock Hills. A child is missing. The police are not welcome. They want an old soldier to bring their boy home.
Lorne, Heather and Ella, the village vicar, track the trail over burial mounds and wind-cut ridges, where small offerings appear in the heather and doors close to outsiders. But modern shadows complicate the search: Hinkley Point’s nuclear plant with its security cordons and floodlit perimeter; and a former policeman with his own agenda.
The deeper Lorne digs, the more the case eerily echoes the loss of his childhood friend. Thirty years have not dimmed the fear that some hills keep what they take.
Salt for the Devil’s Eye is book four in the Lorne Turner Supernatural Thrillers, set across Exmoor and the Quantocks, where ancient rites collide with modern crime. Expect fast-moving investigations through hillfort ruins and night-cold lanes, uneasy camps and a landscape that will not give up its secrets.

Joe Talon is an author used to walking in a place where you're never quite certain if the world is full of rainbows or shadows. Real life holds little interest. Having grown up on Exmoor, Joe has been fascinated by the mysterious and spooky places that dwell in the dark woodlands and quiet combes. In Joe's first series, the world is a little sideways from ours. It is full of shapes moving on the edge of our vision when they shouldn’t and cold spots in warm places. For Joe, there is always the question, 'what would I do if'? When writing crime, Joe tangles with gangsters and dealers, murderers and thieves, all in the small town of Glastonbury. A place known for its otherness. Joe's Cornish adventures once more explore the supernatural blending with real world events. If you would like to know more, do come and join the Taloneers. You can easily find Joe in the usual haunts of writers, (I'm not allowed to give you my digital address). There are all kinds of mysteries and fun to be had. What spare time Joe has is spent with seven dogs, lots of walks, chaotic gardening, and exploring the strange worlds just the other side of what we think we know to be real. Who needs real life when there are books!
