The follow-up to breakout literary thriller Sixteen Horses, featuring forensic veterinarian-turned-detective Cooper Allen.
A slick, smart, stylish - and shocking - thriller from one of the most exciting new voices in crime fiction.
On a lonely farmstead, a 70-year-old woman falls down outside and, unable to move, is consumed overnight by two of her pigs.
It seems like a tragic accident, except the woman was well-known photographer Sophia Bertilak - and inside her house, someone has removed all her photos from their frames, seemingly erasing her past...
The first photo Sophia ever took remains her most infamous: a missing girl who was never seen again. Forensic veterinarian Cooper Allen is drafted in for the post-mortem - and slowly becomes obsessed with the victim, her family, and the crimes she brought to light decades ago.
As Cooper pulls on a dark thread of deception, secrets and lies, she begins to unravel the case - as well as herself...
'One of the most bold and brilliant voices in crime fiction' B. P. WALTER
'Dark, daring and deeply unnerving. Greg Buchanan is hugely talented, and Consumed will shock, shake, haunt and thrill you' CHRIS WHITAKER
