And not just dead - murdered.Frustrated by the slow police investigation headed up by handsome Sergeant Wingard, Maisie determines to start asking questions herself. In a village where everyone knows everyone, surely someone has some information about Stephen. But the longer Maisie stays, and the deeper she digs, the more she begins to sense something sinister at the heart of the village. What secrets are the residents so desperate to keep hidden And what exactly was her brother going to tell her before his mysterious demiseAnd when another death rocks the community, Maisie fears that she needs to catch the killer before they catch her...Greg Mosse is a 'writer and encourager of writers' and husband of international bestselling author, Kate Mosse.
