‘Tense, twisty. Will both charm and break your heart’ Karen Dionne
Every death deserves to be investigated. But should every secret be revealed?
When the body of Danny Carn is found in a walk-in freezer after bingo night, the close-knit local community are devastated. It is mourned as a tragic accident.
Detective Harry Moberg is put on the case after preliminary enquiries are complete. His boss makes it clear what he wants the outcome to be. But Moberg is not going to accept that when the evidence is pointing elsewhere.
Except does Moberg know when to stop digging? Because there’s a fatal secret in his own childhood that is coming into play, and it threatens to bring his past crashing into this investigation.
