It has been ten years since Jeanie Long was charged with the murder of
fifteen-year-old Abigail Mantel. Now residents of the East Yorkshire
village of Elvet are disturbed to hear of new evidence proving Jeanie's
innocence. Abigail's killer is still at large.
For one young woman, Emma Bennett, the revelation brings back haunting
memories of her vibrant best friend--and of that fearful winter's day
when she had discovered her body lying cold in a ditch.
As Inspector Vera Stanhope makes fresh enquiries on the peninsula and
villagers are hauled back to a time they hoped to forget, tensions begin
to mount. But are people afraid of the killer or of their own guilty
pasts?
With each person's story revisited, the Inspector begins to suspect that
some deadly secrets are threatening to unfurl...
