Publisher's Summary

She’d cycled this way hundreds of times before, every twist and turn familiar. She didn’t know this would be the last.

When the body of local architect James McCallum is found hanging in the grounds of his former school one cold, dark night, DI Danny Stowe and forensic psychologist Rose Lainey suspect foul play behind his apparent suicide.

To their astonishment, the trail leads to a 20-year-old cold case of a missing girl and a teenage party. But what was James’ fascination with the case, and how is it linked to his death?

Secrets don’t stay buried forever - but the real killer will stop at nothing to hide theirs....

An absolutely gripping crime thriller that will keep you up all night! Perfect for fans of Patricia Gibney, Val McDermid and Rachel Caine.

Fresh take on crime and friendship

Strong, well portrayed characters - compelling enough to get a series going. Rose the shrink brought a fascinating take to who-done-it component of the story.
Superb narration.
