From the number one best seller of The Detective's Daughter. Beneath the beauty lurks something bad.... June, 1977. As night falls, 17-year-old Cassie Baker leaves Winchcome and takes her usual shortcut down a moonlit country lane. She never makes it home. With no body and no evidence, she's just another teenage runaway. December, 1999. A manhunt is launched for a missing girl, Bryony Motson. The search leads Cotswold police to an ancient burial site outside Winchcombe. Here, inside a stone chamber, are the remains of Cassie Baker. Bryony is never found. June, 2016. Stella Darnell, cleaner and private detective, moves to Winchcombe to solve the long-cold case. By now, evidence has decayed, gossip become fact, and witnesses forgotten what they saw. And if there is a killer in their midst, it is someone who has got away with murder for 20 years. Someone who will do anything to keep it that way....
