    Vtedy v lese je fascinujúca detektívka – plná akcie, psychologických zápletiek a postáv takých skutočných, že Vám pripadajú ako priatelia. Je tu všetko: tragickí milenci, prípad zmiznutých detí, psychopati, mylné dedukcie, trúfalý, zábavný a nespoľahlivý rozprávač. Príbeh vás zdrapne za golier a s krikom vtiahne do lesa. Na oltári z doby bronzovej, objavenom na posvätnom mieste v Knocknaree, sa nájde mŕtve dieťa. Je to talentovaná balerína, dcéra muža, ktorý vedie kampaň proti diaľnici, naplánovanej cez vzácne archeologické nálezisko. Policajt – rozprávač prežil iné nevyriešené zmiznutie v lete roku 1984, čo lesu dodáva desivo klamlivé čaro. K tomu pristupujú politické ťahanice, posvätná hrdosť detektívnych partnerov, rodina, v ktorej niečo fakt smrdí, čudná partia archeológov a príšerný, strašidelný les.

Aj napriek stresu z práce v utajení si Cassie svojich svojráznych, izolovaných spolubývajúcich, rovnako ako nový život v kedysi impozantnom dome obľúbi.Vyšetrovanie oddelenia vrážd neprináša takmer žiadne výsledky a je na Cassie, aby im aspoň naznačila ako ďalej.
