The past never stays buried for long...
Veterinarian Dr. Olivia Ashford came to the Derbyshire village of Dronfield to escape her past. She wanted quiet mornings, loyal clients, and long walks with her clever cockapoo, Jessie-not murder.
But when Jessie discovers the body of retired headmistress Beatrice Thornley in the churchyard, Olivia is drawn into a mystery that reaches back more than seventy years.
Scattered around the victim are genealogical papers, missing parish records, and a photograph with one face deliberately scratched away. As Olivia digs deeper, she uncovers old property disputes, wartime secrets, forged documents, and powerful families with everything to lose.
With Detective Sergeant Marcus Brennan questioning her every move and an ambitious journalist exposing parts of Olivia's own hidden past, she must uncover the truth before history claims another victim.
Because someone in Dronfield has already killed to keep the past buried...
...and they'll kill again.
