'[With] a scalpel-sharp plot, made more supenseful by the complexity of the personal connections, Templeton's latest installment takes the indomitable Fleming from strength to strength.' Daily Record

'All the characters are well-drawn and the tension is maintained throughout... With many surprises along the way, this is an excellent mystery and highly recommended.' Mystery Women

'When you lift a stone, dark creatures, safely hidden before, panic in the light of day . . . someone out there would become desperate to stop her finding the truth. She had to move fast.'

The young victim had been pregnant, her body washed up on the rocks. Twenty years on the murder remains unsolved; her father is now dead, and her mother refuses to talk about what went on all those years ago.

DI Marjory Fleming is called in to reopen the case that her late father, a policeman, was unable to put to rest. As Fleming digs deeper it becomes clear that her father had struggled to keep secret some of the shameful details around the young girl's death.

Can she handle the truth she will unearth, not just about her father but about herself?
