Discover the summer’s most electrifying British crime thriller.

Lies breed lies . . .

Detective Inspector Edison Kane should know. He has a head full of thoughts he can’t confess. Dark thoughts — of his wife’s killer. He tells his partner, DC Bailey Granger, that he’s got it together. That he’s fit to return to work. He’d almost believe it himself . . .

Until a body washes up. On the godforsaken mudflats near Leigh-on-Sea. One look at the dead man’s face, and Kane feels himself start to unravel.

Where the eyes should be, there are only empty sockets.

Kane’s mobile pings with an anonymous message.
Murder was so much easier than I thought. See no evil . . .

Everyone knows how that saying goes . . .

It’s up to Kane to stop the twisted killer, before they write their perfect ending.

But he couldn’t protect his wife ��� and can’t get justice for her now she’s dead and gone.
Why should this case be any different?

An atmospheric, edge-of-your-seat thriller that’s perfect for fans of Simon McCleave, Ann Cleeves, Cath Staincliffe, Elly Griffiths and C.J. Grayson.

MEET THE DETECTIVES
Tormented DI Edison Kane is a man with more demons than most. Relentlessly driven, he’s given everything to rise to the top of the Essex Police Force. Including his beloved wife Lizzy. He will always be haunted by the memory of the fateful night when he prioritized work over his marriage, with tragic consequences. His deep sense of guilt — at being unable to protect Lizzy — fuels everything he does. Will it also be his undoing?

Fresh-faced recruit
DC Bailey Granger triggers all of Kane’s protective instincts. But she’s tougher than she looks — and isn’t afraid to tell him so. Single mum Granger has flawless instincts and the work ethic to match. Nothing matters more to Granger than building a bright future for her beloved daughter Daisy. She won’t let anything stand in the way of that — not her humble origins or her questionable family ties.
