Trust no one. Suspect everyone.

Detective Inspector Milton Bowman seems to have the perfect life, but some secrets refuse to stay buried. His Monday morning takes a tragic turn when he’s involved in a serious car accident on his way to the incident room. DI Harry Powell, a close friend and colleague, is tasked with breaking the news to Bowman’s wife, Linda—only to discover that she’s been murdered.

As the team, including DC Hazel Hamilton, delves into the investigation, every facet of Bowman’s life comes under scrutiny. Suspicion and shock ripple through the ranks as they uncover a web of deceit that has ensnared them all for years. Trust is shattered, and everyone is a suspect. The Bowman family, friends, colleagues, and even Harry Powell himself. In this tangled mystery, nothing is as it seems, and no one is telling the whole truth.

Lisa Cutts’ gripping novel is based on her twenty-five years of policing work.
