Description

Welcome to Trebrowagh (Tree-brow-ugh) — A humble mining village on the edge of Bodmin Moor, Cornwall. A place where nothing ever happened, where people looked after one another. A place where secrets fester behind unconvincing smiles...

Despatched by Devon and Cornwall Police's Historic Crime Division, a trauma-scarred psychologist arrives in Trebrowagh to investigate the 1991 disappearance of a mute boy known only as The Toad, he hopes to uncover buried truths, and cold facts to close the case. What he finds is far worse. The deeper he digs into the Hawkey family’s warped history, the more his own demons claw to the surface. Some things should stay buried…

Black Toad blends gothic horror, psychological thriller and black comedy in an unflinching tale of rural paranoia, generational trauma and the grotesquely absurd. This is Cornish noir — by turns tragic, twisted, and pitch-black hilarious.

Perfect for fans of:
Mick Herron (Slough House, The Secret Hours)
Robert Galbraith (Cormoran Strike)
Phil Rickman, M.W. Craven, Peter James

If The Wicker ManHappy Valley and Inside No. 9 had a lovechild — it might look like Black Toad.
