DCI Hannah Scarlett and her team have been given the cold case of a
missing boy. His younger sister had recently contacted Hannah about the
case. She didn't want her brother to be forgotten nor her uncle to
still be blamed for his disappearance.she had been persuaded by Hannah's
friend Daniel Kind to contact Hannah. Unfortunately, Hannah hadn't
paid her any attention, so the young woman committed suicide.
Many in the community believe that the uncle killed his nephew, but the
suicide victim never believed that. At a dinner hosted by a local
wealthy family, Daniel learns some interesting news; a young man who is
doing voluntary work at a local library has claimed to be the
illegitimate half-brother of the suicide.
Unfortunately, the man is killed when he confronts someone about his
parentage. Will more deaths occur before Hannah can solve the cold case
and her colleagues solve the current cases? Author, Martin Edwards has
a few surprises up his sleeve before the conclusion. A very good,
quick read.
