About this listen

 FIRST IN AN EXCITING HISTORICAL CRIME SERIES.
Bullying. Corruption. Murder.

It’s the summer of 2002. The corpse of a 15 year old boy, missing for thirty years, is discovered in Stoke-on-Trent, a city on the cusp of change. Chief Superintendent Berkins wants the case solved quickly.

DCI Jim Tyler has arrived from London under a cloud, and finds himself teamed up with born-and-bred local DS Danny Mills to investigate the case. There is tension between the chalk-and-cheese detectives from the start, but mingled with a growing mutual admiration.

When the dead boy’s sister comes forward, describing a bright, solitary child, she points a finger at a litter of school bullies, who have since grown into men. Important careers may now be at stake.

Then one of the bullies is brutally murdered. But what is the connection between the death of a schoolboy in 1972 and this latest killing?

With the pressure building, and the past catching up with Tyler, will he and Mills be able to put aside their differences and catch a cold-blooded killer?

Short listed for the Arnold Bennett Book Prize.
