A chance meeting after so many years. Serendipity, or anything but?
Careless words spoken at a New Year's Eve Party have the power to change... everything!
Out of the blue, recently widowed artist Ellie Morgan is contacted by an old schoolfriend, who is mown down in a hit and run, just as she's about to shed light on their mutual friend's forty-year-old unsolved rape and murder.
The same night, student Abigail Grant finally reports being viciously raped three years ago. She preserved the clothes she wore that night. Could they yield the DNA evidence police need to finally nail a serial predator?
Ellie's son, DI James Massey must help solve the cold case before he can identify the rapist. But the old evidence files are flood damaged and his boss is putting the safety of the victims at risk. When Massey discovers his mother is keeping secrets that could get her killed, it all feels way too close to home.
He can't even rely on DS Christine Sparks this time. She has problems with her own mother.
From the author of The Children of Gaia, winner of the Lindisfarne Prize for Crime Fiction 2022.
