A murder in a quiet English village, long-buried secrets and a man's
search for answers about his traumatic past entangle FBI agents Emma
Sharpe and Colin Donovan in the latest edge-of-your-seat Sharpe &
Donovan novel
As a young boy, Oliver York witnessed the murder of his wealthy parents
in their London apartment. The killers kidnapped him and held him in an
isolated Scottish ruin, but he escaped, thwarting their plans for
ransom. Now, after thirty years on the run, one of the two men Oliver
identified as his tormentors may have surfaced.
Emma Sharpe and Colin Donovan are enjoying the final day of their Irish
honeymoon when a break-in at the home of Emma's grandfather, private art
detective Wendell Sharpe, points to Oliver. The Sharpes have a
complicated relationship with the likable, reclusive Englishman, an
expert in Celtic mythology and international art thief who taunted
Wendell for years. Emma and Colin postpone meetings in London with their
elite FBI team and head straight to Oliver. But when they arrive at
York's country home, a man is dead and Oliver has vanished.
As the danger mounts, new questions arise about Oliver's account of his
boyhood trauma. Do Emma and Colin dare trust him? With the trail leading
beyond Oliver's small village to Ireland, Scotland and their own turf in
the United States, the stakes are high, and Emma and Colin must unravel
the decades-old tangle of secrets and lies before a killer strikes
again.
New York Times bestselling author Carla Neggers delivers the
gripping, suspense-filled tale readers have been waiting for.
