A BRAND-NEW BRITISH POLICE PROCEDURAL SET IN PORTSMOUTH, FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR PAULINE ROWSON. OVER 900,000 BOOKS READ!

Old friends. Dark secrets. Vicious murders. Will this be the case that finally breaks Detective Andy Horton? 

Roxanne Keay is found on the shore of Tipner Lake. Her long dark hair plastered over her grey, lifeless face. Her blue coat open to reveal a stab wound to the chest. 

At first glance, the case seems straightforward — a tragic, random act of violence. But DI Andy Horton knows better. Roxanne was on the jury of high-profile trial that week. The trial of Justin Haslegrave, a man accused of smuggling illegal goods.

Days later, Justin is murdered under similar circumstances, and the case takes a chilling turn. 

Roxanne and Justin knew a deadly secret. One they were willing to take to the grave. And it looks like they weren’t the only ones . . . 

As more people connected to the case turn up dead, Horton realises he’s dealing with something — or someone — far more sinister than he could have ever imagined. 

A tense, atmospheric British police mystery that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Fans of Angela Marsons, Ian Rankin, Elly Griffiths and Bill Kitson will devour this dark and twisted tale.
