Suspenseful crime thriller from young British author whose work is being optioned for TV.

In a town full of secrets the truth must be uncovered before it's buried forever.

When a police detective is found murdered in the town of Wakestead, all clues point to local woman Amma Reynolds.

Amma has a clear motive. She hates the police for failing to properly investigate her brother's death, which was written off as an accidental drowning.

Amma has always believed her brother was murdered. Could she have killed DI Mark Stormont in revenge?

Former detective and private investigator Erin Crane is hired to find out.

As she digs deeper, Erin realises that first she needs to uncover why Amma's brother turned up dead in a river all those years ago. Even if it means tearing her friendship with DI Lewis Jennings apart.

Because there are some secrets the Wakestead police force would rather stay buried…
