Book description
PI John Craine is struggling to cope with the weight of his past.
Sixteen years ago his wife, Stacy, was brutally murdered. Craine found
her body in their bed. And since then, to escape the pain and the
unanswered questions, he has buried himself in work by day, and whisky
by night.
But one phone call changes everything. The mother of missing young
woman Anna Gerrish calls on his services, and Craine soon finds
himself at the centre of a sinister web of corruption and lies that
leads back into the murky waters of the past - and to the night that
Craine has spent over a decade trying to forget. As he delves deeper
and deeper into the case everything gets increasingly, terrifyingly,
personal. And it's down to Craine to stop history from repeating
itself ...
