An old case makes Detective Inspector Louisa Smith some new enemies in this
spellbinding second installment of New York Times bestselling author
Elizabeth
Haynes’s Briarstone crime series that combines literary suspense and page-
turning
thrills. Ten years ago, 15-year-old Scarlett Rainsford vanished while on a family
holiday in
Greece. Was she abducted, or did she run away from her severely
dysfunctional
family? Lou Smith worked the case as a police constable, and failing to find
Scarlett has been one of the biggest regrets of her career. No one is more
shocked
than Lou to learn that Scarlett has unexpectedly been found during a Special
Branch
raid of a brothel in Briarstone. Lou and her Major Crime team are already stretched working two troubling
cases:
nineteen-year-old Ian Palmer was found badly beaten; and soon after, bar
owner Carl
McVey was found half-buried in the woods, his Rolex and money gone. While
Lou tries
to establish the links between the two cases, DS Sam Hollands works with
Special
Branch to question Scarlett. What happened to her? Where has she been until
now?
How did she end up back here? And why is her family—with the exception of
her
emotionally fragile younger sister, Juliette—less than enthusiastic about her
return? When another brutal assault and homicide are linked to the McVey murder,
Lou’s
cases collide, and the clues all point in one terrifying direction. As the
pressure
and the danger mount, it becomes clear that the silent, secretive Scarlett
holds
the key to everything.
