Det. Inspector Thanet uncovers the shocking secrets that led to an artist's murder in this mystery from the CWA Silver Dagger Award–winning author.

When a woman is found with a bloody gash on her scalp and a plastic bag over her head, there's no question that she was murdered. But Det. Inspector Luke Thanet, a veteran homicide investigator whose cases have carried him across the sprawling Kentish countryside, is about to discover a mystery far more shocking than anything he's encountered before.

The victim is Perdita Master, an artist with a terminally ill mother and a husband who threatened violence when she demanded a divorce. The husband is the natural suspect, but as Thanet and his partner, the dogged Sgt. Mike Lineham, dig into the case, they will discover a tantalizing connection to a powerful local barrister—and a secret that many people might have killed for.
