A TEENAGER FOUND DEAD
A FAMILY SEEKING ANSWERS
A DETECTIVE WITH A GUILTY SECRET...

When teenager Ben Renshaw is found dead, DCI Robin Lyons is plunged into the heart of one of the most contentious cases in Birmingham's history.

At an out-of-control house party the previous summer, Ben and his best friend witnessed the son of a rich local family commit an act of shocking violence against a female classmate.

Is Ben's murder now an act of vengeance from the powerful family, or something even more sinister?

To find out, Robin will have to negotiate the city's networks of influence while walking a dangerous line: her family has a secret of its own, one that could threaten her daughter's safety and make Robin question all she has ever believed...
