Past and present intertwine in this brilliant exploration of
loyalty and greed from bestselling mistress of suspense Val
McDermid.
"Fife, Scotland, 1984." Mick Prentice abandons his family at the
height of a politically charged national miners' strike to join the
strikebreakers down south. Despised and disowned by friends and
relatives, he is not reported missing until twenty-three years
later.
"Fife, Scotland, 1985." Kidnapped heiress Catriona Maclennan
Grant is killed and her baby son vanishes when the ransom payoff
goes horribly wrong. In 2008, a tourist in Tuscany stumbles upon
dramatic new evidence that reopens the investigation.
Already immersed in the Prentice affair, Detective Karen Pirie,
newly appointed head of the Cold Case Review Team, wants to make
her mark with this second unsolved 1980s mystery. But two decades'
worth of secrets are leading Pirie into a dark domain of violence
and betrayal--a place darker than any she has previously
entered.
