About this book

Detective Inspector Fenella Sallow, a veteran detective in her fifties, is obsessive about her work and driven by personal demons. When the body of a retired artist is found on the blackened embers of the town bonfire in a Cumbria coastal setting, the community is shaken. DI Sallow and her team must investigate how the victim came to be there. Haunted by an unsolved case involving a missing girl, Sallow recognizes the urgency of the situation. Behind the curtained windows and closed doors of the seemingly idyllic community, she discovers pure evil at work. As the investigation unfolds, it becomes clear the killer is playing a twisted game and will go to great lengths to hide the truth about what happened on the beach on Bonfire Night. Sallow must confront her dark past while racing to prevent this death from becoming another unsolved case.
