With her professional reputation on the line, Sarah must navigate the the dangerous territory between ambition, loyalty, and survival.

When even the police are playing tricks with her mind, what can one woman do all alone?

And what is the significance of an ancient murder, a body buried long ago under the motorway?

'Another superb and accomplished British thriller by Tim Vicary, sure to be enjoyed by many a reader.' Sarah Burns, Kindle Book Review.

'Simply outstanding... why is it that the name Tim Vicary is not yet seen alongside the likes of John Grisham? I cannot recommend this book more highly.' John Bartlett, Author of 'Chequered Justice.'

'Exceptional .. completely absorbing... an "edge of your seat" Legal Thriller. A serious rival to the works of Scott Turow and Michael Connelly.' J.J.Collins

'Gripping stuff, gets you hooked from the start. It leads you through tangled webs of confusion and just when you think it has all fallen into place, something else crops up to change your mind. All in all a great read.' Kevin Hogy.
