Often compared to both Ruth Rendell and P.D. James, Deborah Crombie is internationally acclaimed for her deftly written mysteries that combine suspense with lyrical prose. Sharply etched characters further enrich this story of tangled relationships and dark secrets.

While working on a biography of the late poet Lydia Brooke, Victoria uncovered information that has her convinced Lydia’s suicide five years ago was really murder. As Duncan begins his investigation, another murder occurs closer to home. Now he finds himself frantically searching for clues in Lydia’s complicated past to find the killer before he strikes again.
