When a violent summer storm hits the Lincolnshire Wolds, the tiny village of Bag Enderby falls foul of the devastating deluge. Homes are flooded, fallen trees lie across the winding lanes, and in one picturesque valley, a terrible secret is unearthed - a woman's body is discovered floating among the debris.
For Detective Inspector George Larson, the storm marks the beginning of a new episode. A return to where his career began all those years ago, with colleagues he hasn't seen for a lifetime, and places that are etched into his heart. It's as if the storm is wiping his slate clean for him to end his career in the place he loves - until his journey leads him into the heart of the crime scene, where he learns the victim's name and memories of an unsolved murder float to the surface.
Florence Tucker suffered severe head wounds, which leaves George faced with a possibility that his new superior officer is keen to reject - is this a new investigation, or is George's ageing mind trying to close an unsolved case that has haunted him for years?
With a community still reeling from the past, few are willing to speak the truth, leaving George with little option but to wade through the lies and deceit, and face his nightmare head on.
Why did Florence Tucker die? Who was the last to see her? And why are the locals terrified of digging up the past?
