She's back - and it's the homecoming from hell.
On her return to Cumbria after years in Australia, Connie Sheldon’s first stop is the nursing home where she hopes to mend her relationship with her estranged elderly father, Edwin, but she’s in for a shock. Not only has Edwin been dead for three years but another woman, passing herself off as his daughter, has stolen Connie’s inheritance — and disappeared.
There’s an obvious person for Connie to turn for help — her old flame DCI Jude Satterthwaite, for whom she still has an attachment. He’s now single and she has hopes of a more significant relationship.
But Connie, always impatient, is to be frustrated on two counts. The case proves complex and Jude’s heart is elsewhere. To make matters worse her spiky and direct personality, not to mention the litany of romantic disasters in her past, have left her with plenty of enemies. Not everyone is happy to see her return.
As Jude and his team dig deeper into Edwin’s past they uncover secrets that pose a threat to Connie’s safety and sanity. Will they be able to trace the mystery woman — and discover the truth about Connie Sheldon — in time to save more lives?
