Lies of the Flesh is a thrilling historical mystery that explores what happens when identities – whether relating to gender, social position, or nationality – are challenged within the crucible of war, showing the conflict between Scotland and England at its brutal and bloody worst.
When evil stalks the land, who can you trust?
Autumn 1314. In the aftermath of the Scottish victory at the Battle of Bannockburn, the villagers of Warcop wait desperately for the return of loved ones. When brothers Wat and Rob Dickinson bring news of the death of their companion, Adam Fothergill, as they fled home, there is no one to mourn him. But when a monstrous figure is seen in the hills nearby, it seems Adam has returned from the dead to wreak revenge. But for what?



Three miles away, young Fran Hilton is mourning the death of his father and wrestling with the responsibilities of becoming lord of the manor. When he catches sight of the Revenant, he is terrified, but the mystery of Adam’s death fascinates him. With a motley band of Hilton’s young people, Fran sets out to confront Adam.



As terror turns to murder, Fran realises the truth has been buried deep within a pack of lies – and he, too, harbours a secret of his own, the revelation of which could mean losing everything and everyone he loves most.



Lies of the Flesh is a gripping exploration of what happens when identities – gender, social position or nationality – are challenged within the crucible of war.
