Summary
The brilliant new thriller from the acclaimed author ofShadow Dancer. The village of East Welham has never recovered from the day that two of its inhabitants were brutally murdered on the common nearly fifteen years before: a young woman, Sarah Ford, and her six-year-old daughter, Alice. Julia Havilland is one for whom the case has a compelling resonance. Returning to the village, her military career under investigation, Julia begins to probe the murders and discovers that even from beyond the grave, the past can exert a stranglehold on the present.
