In the tradition of Elizabeth George, Louise Penny, and P.
D. James, New York Times bestselling author Deborah Crombie
delivers a powerful tale of intrigue, betrayal, and lies
that will plunge married London detectives Duncan Kincaid
and Gemma James into the unspeakable darkness that lies at
the heart of murder.
Recently transferred to the London borough of Camden from
Scotland Yard headquarters, Superintendent Duncan Kincaid
and his new murder investigation team are called to a deadly
bombing at historic St. Pancras Station. By fortunate
coincidence, Melody Talbot, Gemma's trusted colleague,
witnesses the explosion. The victim was taking part in an
organized protest, yet the other group members swear the
young man only meant to set off a smoke bomb. As Kincaid
begins to gather the facts, he finds every piece of the
puzzle yields an unexpected pattern, including the
disappearance of a mysterious bystander.
The bombing isn't the only mystery troubling Kincaid. He's
still questioning the reasons behind his transfer, and when
his former boss—who's been avoiding him—is attacked, those
suspicions deepen. With the help of his former sergeant,
Doug Cullen, Melody Talbot, and Gemma, Kincaid begins to
untangle the truth. But what he discovers will leave him
questioning his belief in the job that has shaped his life
and his values—and remind him just how vulnerable his
precious family is.
