Synopsis
On a winter's evening, a trio of unruly teenagers board a bus, ganging up on Luke Murray, threatening to kill him. No one intervenes until Jason Barnes, a young student, challenges the gang. Luke seizes the chance to run off the bus, but he's followed. Andrew Barnes is dragged from the shower by his wife Valerie: there's a fight in the garden and Jason's trying to break it up. As Andrew rushes to help, the gang flees. Jason shouts for an ambulance for Luke, but it is he who will pay the ultimate price. As Valerie and Andrew are faced by the devastating loss of their only child, their grief affects them in different ways.

An engrossing read. * Sunday Telegraph * About as good as the British private eye novel gets. * Time Out * Complex and satisfying. * The Sunday Times * Modest, compassionate ... a solid ingenious plotter with a sharp eye for domestic detail. * Literary Review * PRAISE FOR CATH STAINCLIFFEA book about courage and compromise, about how sometimes it's kinder and braver to lie. Stunning. * Anne Cleeves *
