Was the wrong man hanged for a young woman's murder, or is a
copycat killer on the loose? DCI Henry Johnstone and DS Mickey
Hitchens must crack a darkly complex case when the community close
ranks. 1930, Leicestershire. Everyone in the quiet market town of
East Harborough is convinced that local miscreant Brady Brewer is
responsible for the brutal murder of Sarah Downham. Despite
Brewer's protestations of innocence, and his sister's pleas for
help from DCI Henry Johnstone and DS Mickey Hitchens, he is
convicted and hanged. Two weeks after the hanging, a farmworker
finds the body of another young woman less than a mile from where
Sarah was found - and there are other disturbing similarities
between the two murders. Is a copycat killer on the loose, or was
Brewer innocent after all? Where is the missing yellow dress that
Sarah wore the night she was murdered? As the locals close ranks,
Henry and Mickey soon discover that reputations - and the truth -
are all on the line . . .
