After twelve years, the last person Scotland Yard Superintendent Duncan Kincaid expects to hear from is his ex-wife Victoria. But this is no social call. In her biographical research on troubled poet Lydia Brooke, Vic s uncovered reasons to believe Lydia s death five years ago was not suicide.
Much to Kincaid s surprise--and the unease of his partner and lover, Sergeant Gemma James--he finds he can t refuse Vic s request to look into the long-closed case. The police report raises questions, but not enough to reopen the investigation--until a second death occurs, this one clearly murder.
Now Duncan and Gemma must sift through a tangle of relationships, secrets, and lies to find not just a killer, but a secret which will change their own lives forever.
