Well-written, good story ‒ what more could one ask?’Maree S.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Really good story with a twist, along the lines of Agatha Christie.’ Sue D.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘It's a must-read… The twists and turns of the storyline are brilliant.’ Carolyn W.THE DETECTIVEDCI Sheldon Hunter is a resolute professional and a perfectionist. As far as he’s concerned, a case is never closed until somebody’s been locked up. Newly promoted, he always takes care with his appearance and projects authority. His own childhood on an inner-city council estate is a far cry from the cushioned certainty enjoyed by those in Cheshire’s genteel towns and suburbs.THE SETTINGCheshire is a county in northwest England, known for its charming towns of half-timber and red sandstone. It’s home to some of England’s wealthiest elite. But close-knit communities and deep pockets make for secret-keeping and opportunism. DCI Hunter has his work cut out to get past the gates.
