Was the biggest case of his career the worst mistake he ever made?

But as similarities between the two cases grow, could it be that Jack caught the wrong man all those years ago?

It is 1969 and Glasgow is in the grip of the worst winter in decades, yet it is something else that has Glaswegians on edge: a serial killer whose name alone is enough to make them tremble with fear. The Quaker has killed another victim, snatching a young woman from a nightclub and dumping her body like trash in the back of a cold-water tenement. He leaves no clues, and the investigation has led police down one blind alley after another.

Publisher's Summary
Vera Stanhope, star of ITV’s Vera, returns in the tenth novel in number one bestseller Ann Cleeves’ acclaimed series.
Fifty years ago, a group of teenagers spent a weekend on Holy Island, forging a bond that has lasted a lifetime. Now, they still return every five years to celebrate their friendship, and remember the friend they lost to the rising waters of the causeway at the first reunion.
Now, when one of them is found hanged, Vera is called in. Learning that the dead man had recently been fired after misconduct allegations, Vera knows she must discover what the friends are hiding, and whether the events of many years before could have led to murder then, and now . . .
But with the tide rising, secrets long-hidden are finding their way to the surface, and Vera and the team may find themselves in more danger than they could have believed possible . . .
What the critics say
'In a world where celebrities debut on bestseller charts, Cleeves is an old-school crime writer in every sense, working her way up the list over years, building a readership while honing her craft.' Brian McGilloway
'Birkett is superb at creating voices for the diverse cast of relatable characters who are imbued with unique accents and distinct personalities. Her engaging narrative style sweeps the listener along, generating suspense and a thoroughly compelling listen.' - AudioFile

A really good read- engaging characters, and a good plot. Loved the ongoing development of our Vera, lovely that she is gaining insight into herself and others. As always, very atmospheric with vivid imagery and beautiful writing. Highly recommended.

Another fantastic Vera novel
Ten books in and the Vena stories are still just as fresh, strong and interesting as they have always been. This one gets a five out of five. It leads somewhere I wasn't expecting. A must read.

A gentler Vera
Like most of us Vera’s rougher edges are softening with age..This story about the effect of historical pains on the present day, will find those of us of a certain age remembering our youth. What would you do to maintain the image you have worked 50 years to create?
