In this gripping, twisting thriller from the globally famous author of the Ruth Galloway Mysteries, a killer targets a school reunion, but the pupils are no strangers to death.
Is it possible to go over the fact that you killed someone?
In the late nineties, when Cassie Fitzgerald was a student, she and her companions murdered a classmate. Nearly two decades later, Cassie is a happy spouse and mother who loves her work as a police officer. She has almost wiped the secret from her mind and keeps it near to her heart.
Her spouse eventually convinces her to attend a school reunion one day. Cassie reconnects with her accomplished former classmates from Manor Park School, including two politicians, a music singer, and a well-known actress. However, one of them, Garfield Rice, is surprisingly discovered dead in the school restroom, purportedly from a drug overdose. Given that Garfield was a prominent and contentious member of parliament and that this is a high-profile inquiry, Cassie's new supervisor, DI Harbinder Kaur, has just been promoted and moved to London. The problem is that Cassie can't get rid of the impression that one of them has murdered once again.
Is Cassie correct, or did one of Garfield's political allies kill him? Cassie has a vested interest in manipulating the inquiry to seem unrelated to Manor Park, and she appears to be making progress in this regard.
Until another reunion participant is discovered dead in Bleeding Heart Yard...
