Overview

A heart-pounding new British crime thriller, full of stunning twists. Two murders, twenty years apart. One witness with blood on her hands. At first glance, you'd think charismatic entrepreneur Morgan Springfield was still breathing. Seated at his desk. Executive pen poised in his hand. That's the illusion Morgan's killer wanted to create. Right after they hammered a nail into the back of his spine. Detective Mike Croft isn't fooled. He's seen this killer's handiwork once before. It's been twenty years, but you don't forget a scene like that. Meticulously staged. And for what? Morgan's devastated partner can't think of a single reason. Much less a suspect. But Mike knows a lie when he hears one . . . An unlikely new witness reaches out from Mike's murky past, promising information that will blow the case wide open. Too bad this woman has a history of telling lies. And taking lives. But with no other leads, no evidence and no motive, Mike might just have to take his chances with a convicted killer. CWA Dagger-nominated Jane Adams is back, with her most fiendishly twisty mystery yet. Fans of Simon McCleave, Joy Ellis, Helen H. Durrant, J.D. Kirk, Elly Griffiths, Rachel McLean and Tana French will devour this utterly unputdownable Norfolk-based mystery.
