It has been ten years since the body of fifteen-year-old Abigail Mantel was found in a ditch and Jeanie Long, her father’s girlfriend, was convicted of the crime. Just as Emma Bennett, the victim’s best friend, returns to Elvet, the town where it all happened, new evidence emerges proving Jeanie’s innocence—and that means Abigail’s killer is still at large.

Detective Inspector Vera Stanhope is in charge of reopening the case, and as her investigation progresses, the secrets of the past come to light. Everyone is lying to protect themselves, but Vera must catch the murderer—and fast.
