A murderer strikes at a school reunion—but the
students are no strangers to death— in this
propulsive, twisty thriller from the internationally
bestselling author of the Ruth Galloway Mysteries
Is it possible to forget that you’ve committed
a murder?
When Cassie Fitzgerald was at school in the late 90s, she
and her friends killed a fellow student. Almost twenty years
later, Cassie is a happily married mother who loves her
job—as a police officer. She closely guards the secret
she has all but erased from her memory.
One day her husband finally persuades her to go to a
school reunion. Cassie catches up with her high-achieving
old friends from the Manor Park School—among them two
politicians, a rock star, and a famous actress. But then,
shockingly, one of them, Garfield Rice, is found dead in the
school bathroom, supposedly from a drug overdose. As
Garfield was an eminent—and controversial—MP and
the investigation is high profile, it’s headed by
Cassie’s new boss, DI Harbinder Kaur, freshly promoted
and newly arrived in London. The trouble is, Cassie
can’t shake the feeling that one of them has killed
again.
Is Cassie right, or was Garfield murdered by one of his
political cronies? It’s in Cassie’s interest to
skew the investigation so that it looks like it has nothing
to do with Manor Park and she seems to be succeeding.
Until someone else from the reunion is found dead in
Bleeding Heart Yard…
