The gripping new mystery in the Hidden Norfolk series, from multi-million-copy bestselling author J M Dalgliesh.

A family estate with a deadly secret…

When a young man’s body is discovered on a remote stretch of farmland in Norfolk, DI Tom Jannsen’s quiet morning is shattered.

He is surprised to learn that the victim was a stable hand at Vale Racing – a yard steeped in tradition, where reputation and credibility are everything.

It isn’t long before Tom finds bitter rivalries hidden beneath the surface of the Vale family estate. Whispers spread that the yard’s future is at risk. And the victim’s private life – which he kept secret, even from those closest to him – begins to emerge.

When another dead body turns up, Tom realises that everyone on the estate is lying to him. No one wants the truth to come to light. But which of them is capable of murder?
