"Had I stumbled across another body, secretly decomposing in a secluded spot?"

The last thing she expects is to stumble across the dead body of rugby player Steve Chilton in the undergrowth, but when the police rule it an accident, she is determined to investigate further.
Quizzing everyone close to Steve, she seems to find more questions than answers. Why did he erupt into an uncharacteristic rage during his last rugby match? Why was he so cold to his wife during their last night together? And why did he end up dead in her garden? The guilt she feels over someone losing their life in her very own backyard drives an unhealthy pursuit of the truth. But sometimes the truth can be dangerous...
