Harry Vicary of the Murder and Serious Crime Squad is back on the case in this page-turning police procedural.

But how? Vicary and his team are drawn into a complex investigation - one which will take them from remote cottages in rural Hampshire to the dark world of inner city sex workers, child abuse within north London suburbia, and the injustice of a long-standing wrongful conviction.
