About this ebook

"I need to tell you about the murder of Lucy Blake-Hall. I know who killed her!" Those were the last words uttered by retired detective Jeffery Howson, in a chilling late night phone call, to Barnwell's Major Investigation Team's Civilian Investigator, Barry Newstead; the next day he was found brutally murdered. And so begins, not only an investigation into his slaying, but the opening of a "cold case" review into the murder of twenty-two year Lucy Blake-Hall, who vanished without trace on August Bank Holiday, 1983, and whose body has never been found. Yet a man has already admitted to killing her and is currently serving a life sentence. Is he innocent? From the outset of the enquiry DS Hunter Kerr and his team uncover a 25 year old hidden secret. Once revealed, it sets in motion a dramatic chain of events; someone is going to horrific lengths to keep the truth hidden, and no one is safe.
