'Templeton's a considerable writer, both intelligent and intuitive.' Literary Review

A killer is stalking the Fens. Who will survive the final act?

Recently released from prison for a deadly crime, Helena Fielding returns to Radnesfield -- a village where the cold Fenland wind carries whispers sharper than knives.

She hopes to bury the past and reclaim her life. But the village hasn't forgotten what she did -- and they want her to pay.

Then her ex-husband Neville, a once celebrated actor turned shattered madman, is found brutally murdered.

Shock quickly turns to fear.

There's a killer loose on the Fens.

And all eyes turn to Helena.

Detective Frances Howart is the only person who believes Helena might be innocent. But time is running out, and if Frances fails, Helena will be behind bars -- for good.

This suspenseful, twisty crime thriller is perfect for fans of Joy Ellis, Ann Cleeves and Elly Griffiths.
