"Ann Cleeves is one of my favorite mystery writers."--Louise Penny
DI Vera Stanhope is not one to make friends easily, but her hippy
neighbors keep her well-supplied in homebrew and conversation, and
somehow bonds have formed. When one of them goes missing, Vera tracks
the young woman down to the Writer's House, a country retreat where
aspiring authors work on their stories. Things get complicated when a
body is discovered, and Vera's neighbor is found with a knife in her
hand.
Calling in the team, Vera knows that she should hand the case over.
She's too close to the main suspect. But the investigation is too
tempting, and she's never been one to follow the rules. Somewhere there
is a killer who has taken murder off the page and is making it real . .
