Two celebrated writers combine to offer the electrifying conclusion to a legendary mystery series…
Detective Inspector Carol Ashton’s promotion to Chief Inspector has immediately ensnared her in two assignments that hold no warning they will forever change her life.
She’s inherited the pressurized case of the high-profile death of media star and wealthy philanthropist Greta Denby, who had been undergoing a controversial experimental treatment for her cancer. Also the case of the investigating officer, greatly respected Inspector Ian Rooke, who has himself just died in baffling circumstances, a demise made more mysterious by the inexplicable shoddiness of his investigation into Greta’s death.
Carol’s life is further complicated by her failing hold on the woman she loves. And by the surfacing of a powerful ghost—her mother. Someone from Carol’s distant past has emerged to question in the most public possible way the circumstances of her mother’s death with accusations against Carol—and they may well be the truth.
In this final chapter, Carol Ashton confronts an increasingly dire future and the most formidable challenge of all—her fundamental belief in her career, and in herself.
