A murdered historian. A lost film reel. And in its shadowy frames, a century-old killing caught on camera.
When Dr. Arthur Irvine is found dead in his study, the local police are quick to write it off as a robbery gone wrong. But DCI Cieran Black has learned the hard way that nothing in this coastal town is ever that simple. Especially when the evidence starts vanishing, and witnesses suddenly can't keep their stories straight.
At the center of it all is a recently unearthed silent film from 1920, one that captures more than just romance in its flickering images. In the background of one scene, barely visible through a window, a woman in a floral dress is being murdered. The same woman whose brutal death has been the subject of local legend for a hundred years.
Now someone is willing to kill to keep old secrets buried, and an entire police force seems determined to stand in Black's way. As the body count rises and evidence disappears, one thing becomes clear: in a town where everyone is protecting someone, the dead aren't the only ones with something to hide.
Some murders echo through generations. Some secrets are worth dying for.
