In the past . . .
On a blistering August afternoon in Crystal Palace, a solitary
thirteen-year-old boy meets his next door neighbor, a recently
widowed teacher hoping to make a new start. Drawn together by
loneliness, the unlikely pair form a 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 now that her husband, Detective
Superintendent Duncan Kincaid, is at home to care for their
three-year-old foster daughter. Assigned to lead a Murder
Investigation Team, her first case is a crime scene at a seedy
hotel in Crystal Palace. A well-respected barrister is found naked,
trussed, and apparently strangled. Is it an unsavory accident or
murder? Their search leads them into unexpected corners and forces
them to contemplate unsettling truths about the weaknesses and
passions that lead to murder. Ultimately, they will begin to
question everything they think they know about their world and
those they trust most.
