Cedarthorpe is still reeling from the modern slavery ring that thrived behind the doors of Kensington House. The arrests should have brought closure. They didn’t.
When a gun is hauled from the sea, DI Bostwick senses it’s more than discarded evidence. Ballistics link it to a twenty-year-old unsolved murder in Leeds — a teenage boy shot dead, his killer never found.
The weapon hasn’t been in the water long.
As Bostwick digs deeper, the past begins to bleed into the present. The cold case drags her back to 2005, to a young woman named Star Bright — watched, followed, and terrorised by someone who whispered, I see you. A girl who ignored the warning signs. A man who believed rejection was just the beginning.
Now the sea has given something back.
For DI Bostwick, solving this could mean redemption.
Or exposure.
