A small market town in the English West Country. A December that came early and would not lift. A boy at his bedroom window in the middle of the night.And, at the foot of the lamppost across the lane, something that folded quietly into the cobbles in the amber light.The constabulary closes the matter within the week.
The town agrees not to speak of it. The boy is told he imagined it, and his books are taken away.But a detective arrives from London with a question that has been keeping him awake for fifteen nights. And as he walks the quiet streets of Townsville and listens carefully to what each resident is not saying, a festival from a winter thirteen months earlier begins, by precise small inches, to surface.A woman in jewels. A missed shot at the river. Letters on cream paper arriving every fortnight at six addresses. An older killing that no one was ever meant to find. And, at the heart of an investigation that should already have closed, a single quiet figure who has been waiting eighteen months for the small precise hour to act.
Every confession deepens the lie.Every clue points one way.And the answer, when it comes, will not be the answer any reader has been led to expect.
A literary suspense thriller the slow-burning English mystery.
Some truths aren't just dangerous to know. They're deadly.
