In the past. . .home to the tragically destroyed Great
Exhibition, a solitary thirteen-year-old boy meets his next-door
neighbor, a recently widowed young teacher hoping to make a new
start in the tight-knit South London community. Drawn together by
loneliness, the unlikely pair forms a deep connection that ends in
a shattering act of betrayal.
In the present. . .On a cold January morning in London,
Detective Inspector Gemma James is back on the job while her
husband, Detective Superintendent Duncan Kincaid, is at home caring
for their three-year-old foster daughter. Assigned to lead a Murder
Investigation Team in South London, she's assisted by her trusted
colleague, newly promoted Detective Sergeant Melody Talbot. Their
first case: a crime scene at a seedy hotel in Crystal Palace. The
victim: a well-respected barrister, found naked, trussed, and
apparently strangled. Is it an unsavory accident or murder? In
either case, he was not alone, and Gemma's team must find his
companion--a search that takes them into unexpected corners and
forces them to contemplate unsettling truths about the weaknesses
and passions that lead to murder. Ultimately, they will question
everything they think they know about their world and those they
trust most.
