APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
True crime reporter Ben Harper is drawn into another murder-mystery in his hometown in the follow-up to Twelve Secrets. After Harper rescues an enigmatic figure from a community centre fire, a skeleton with a battered skull is found in the burnt-out building leaving the local community humming with speculation. Was it an accident or arson? Who is texting Ben with the single word “Help”? What’s the connection to missing children, corrupt police and county lines drug gangs? The plot twists keep coming as Ben teams up with local detective DC Dani Cash to uncover all manner of macabre secrets in their seemingly idyllic Thameside town. And when more people die, it’s clear that Harper and Cash are facing a foe with plenty to hide. This is a knottily tangled tale of affairs and addiction, of dodgy property deals and personal vendettas, with a cathartic climax that you won’t see coming.
