One buried body. Many hidden secrets.When the body of an unknown teenage girl is discovered following a storm, the community of Birkbury closes ranks to protect their secrets.As a seasoned detective, DCI Peter Hatherall’s expectation of solving the historic case is low.

With only two initials engraved on the girl’s jewellery as a clue, he fears her death will remain a mystery.But the possibility of a chance encounter at a race meeting and a baffling car accident leads Hatherall to believe there may be a local connection. He relentlessly chips away, pushing buttons until it becomes clear that the girl may not have been local, but the killer was. And they’re prepared to kill again to hide their identity.If you enjoy mysteries in a rural setting with unpredictable twists, this book is for you.Read more
