The vengeful have a long memory.Called to a body found by the Berwyn river, DI Ruth Hunter and DS Nick Evans know something isn't adding up. Mark Fisher, a once-renowned guitarist since lost to his addictions, has been murdered – but the crime scene has been staged to look like suicide.

Ten years ago, Mark was responsible for a car crash that ruined lives. There are historical allegations of sexual assault against him. Plenty of people wanted Mark Fisher dead.

When the case of Gerry Doyle comes in, another staged suicide, the hunt is on for a cold-hearted killer. Ruth and Nick must work out what links these deaths… before another victim is claimed.

A chilling police procedural with twists you’ll never see coming. Perfect for fans of Neil Lancaster, LJ Ross and Sarah Ward.
