'You'd never believe it to look at me now, but once upon a time I
killed a man'
Historian Daniel Kind is finding winter in the Lake District tough,
especially as his relationship with Miranda seems to be on the
rocks. Far from the bright lights of London, Miranda feels
increasingly isolated, and Daniel fears that she will just up and
leave. She wouldn't be the first. Years ago, Emma Bestwick left her
cottage and never came back, her disappearance never resolved, much
to the chagrin of DCI Hannah Scarlett, head of the local Cold Case
Review Team.
But recently there are been calls to the local newspaper dropping
hints about Emma's death. With the case reopened, Hannah and Daniel
are thrown together again, and soon discover that someone is
desperate to preserve the secrets of the past, whatever the cost.
