By Anthea Fraser
DISCOVER YOUR NEXT FAVOURITE MURDER MYSTERY SERIES BY ONE OF BRITAIN’S MOST EMINENT CRIME WRITERS.
When William Makepeace’s blue, bloated body surfaces in the local canal, police are certain of foul play.
Reading the obituary in the paper, DCI Webb can’t deny that a small part of him is relieved. The old man was a former adversary of DCI Webb’s late father, and the feud had estranged the two families for decades.
Given his personal involvement, Webb is reluctant to join the investigation. But the Chief Superintendent assigns Webb to the case, and soon he’s forced to revisit painful childhood memories.
Just as the investigation comes to a halt, a startling revelation emerges: the last person Makepeace contacted was Sheila Fairchild – Webb’s sister.
What dark secrets lie buried beneath years of silence? And what business did Makepeace have with Sheila?
Perfect for fans of Peter James, Joy Ellis, Ann Cleeves, Roger Silverwood, Roy Lewis, Agatha Christie, or Faith Martin.
