Heavy rain falls on Lafferton. As the rain water slowly drains away, a shallow grave - and a skeleton - are revealed.
It doesn't take long to identify the remains as those of missing teenager, Harriet Lowther, who was last seen sixteen years ago.
But a cold case isn't a priority: if Detective Inspector Simon Serrailler is to solve the case, he will have to do it alone.

Hill can't write a bad sentence and her characters are all completely convincing - no more so than her long-serving detective Simon Serrailler * Daily Mirror *
Her intellectual stance is engaging, her plot unpredictable and her detective a likeable presence * Scotland on Sunday *
Far more than a whodunit...written with a novelist's flair, in that the characters, however fleeting, are carefully drawn and believable * Country Life *
A crime series that specialises in sidestepping conventions, always to exhilarating effect... These books succeed in harnessing all the genre's addictive power while maintaining a complexity and fascination entirely their own * Independent *
