When the body of a child murdered more than thirty years ago is discovered in the Warwickshire countryside, it reveals hidden secrets from the past which impact upon the futures of so many people.
A former police detective and an ex-gangster each have their own motivation for trying to find who was and, more importantly, who wasn't responsible for the murder but for DCI Danny Isham, the quest for the truth becomes far more personal than he could ever have imagined.
In his search for answers, Isham will discover not only what really happened to the child victims all those years ago, but also that his own life is part of the riddle; a riddle which would destroy his past and alter his future for ever
