When Caroline Thorpe succeeded in casting doubt on the verdict of the inquest into her brother’s death, she could not have anticipated what would follow.

Freddie was Earl Thorpe of Burnham, and as the Kings Lake detectives soon begin to realise, influential people have gone to considerable lengths to cover up a potential scandal surrounding the young man’s death.

Led by DCI Cara Freeman, their investigation will take them from Norfolk into the capital, and from idealistic young campaigners to people at the heart of government. The stakes have never been higher for the detectives from Kings Lake Central.

‘Ensconced in Kings Lake, in the company of Smith and his team, I didn’t want to leave.' FINANCIAL TIMES

What sets Grainger’s books apart from the typical police procedural is the fully realized characters ... That and his elegant prose, with its pitch-perfect dialogue, which gets more assured and more playful in each book. * Financial Times *
