The gripping new DCI Serena Flanagan thriller from the bestselling author of Those We Left Behind
'Stuart Neville is...a crime-writing star' Mark Billingham
DCI Serena Flanagan is asked to sign off the suicide of a severely disabled businessman. It should be an open and shut case.
But something doesn't feel right, and soon the grieving widow's relationship with a local vicar sounds an alarm. With no evidence to back her up, however, have Serena's instincts led her down the wrong path?
Under pressure at home and ignoring orders from her superiors, she must discover the truth. It's an investigation that may cost Serena her job – and her family.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Edgar-finalist Neville's excellent sequel to 2015's Those We Left Behind, Det. Chief Insp. Serena Flanagan of the Belfast police investigates the apparent suicide of Henry Garrick, who was bedridden while slowly and painfully recovering from a serious car accident. It seems that his wife, Roberta, and a family friend, Rev. Peter McKay, gave him his evening medication of a packet of morphine granules mixed into a tub of yogurt, but after they left, he added an additional 10 packets and died during the night. But Roberta and McKay share a dreadful secret that eats at the reverend until he can barely contain it. Flanagan, who's trying to focus on work despite serious family problems, suspects something is not as it seems, but he has no evidence and is constrained to accept the death as a suicide. The case is officially closed, but Flanagan can't help following the remaining loose ends until something approaching justice is done in this complex and compassionate study of the human condition.
