Book description
Estranged from his family for most of his adult life, Chris Napier is
persuaded to return home for his niece's wedding. At the reception, he
is shocked to recognise a dishevelled intruder as his childhood friend
Nicky Lanyon, whose presence is a chilling reminder of a murder and
subsequent trial that Chris has tried hard to forget.
When Nicky hangs himself, Chris is compelled to revisit the tragic
events of 34 years ago, and the apparent justice that was served. But
as present day mysteries begin to shadow his footsteps into the past,
his search for the truth soon becomes a desperate struggle for his own survival.
Robert Goddard was born in Hampshire. He read History at Cambridge

full-time novelist. He is the author of many bestselling novels,
including Into the Blue which won the first WH Smith Thumping Good Read
Award and was dramatized for TV in 1997, starring John Thaw.
