'Cliffhangers and revelations galore' THE TIMES

Thirty years ago, Alaka Jha's murder sent shockwaves through Haddley. The reporter had been exposing a dark side to the tight-knit community, and her daughter Uma suspects that story could be the key to her unsolved murder.

On the anniversary of Alaka's death, journalist Ben Harper is determined to find answers for Uma at last - but his investigation takes him deep into a tangled web of lies, and puts Uma's life in danger.

Because it seems not everyone in Haddley wants this terrible crime solved. Some of them have been keeping secrets for over thirty years - and they don't want them dragged into the light . . .
