"Ann Cleeves is one of my favorite mystery writers."--Louise Penny
Life seems perfect in the quiet community of Valley Farm. Then a
shocking discovery shatters the silence. The owners of a big country
house have employed a house-sitter, a young ecologist, to look after the
place while they're away. But his dead body is found by the side of the
lane--a lonely place to die.
When DI Vera Stanhope arrives on the scene, she finds the body of a
second man. What the two victims seem to have in common is a fascination
with studying moths--and with catching these beautiful, intriguing
creatures.
The others who live in Valley Farm have secrets too: Lorraine's calm
demeanor belies a more complex personality; Annie and Sam's daughter,
Lizzie, is due to be released from prison; and Nigel watches, silently,
every day, from his window. As Vera is drawn into the claustrophobic
world of this increasingly strange community, she realizes that there
may be many deadly secrets trapped there . . .
