It's 1967. Hedley Robson thought the worst of it was behind him. He had a small office on the Quayside, a stack of unfinished files, and a life carefully built around what he would not say about 1963.
Then a retired police sergeant turns up dead beneath his window, a Bergen ticket in his pocket, and a widow walks into Hedley’s office with a receipt for something that shouldn’t exist. One clue leads to another: a hidden ledger, a boy’s stubborn silence, a photographer with too many secrets, and a city where powerful men have spent years making sure certain names never reach paper.
As the trail runs from Newcastle to Norway and back again, Hedley has to decide how far he’ll go to drag the truth into the light. Because some lies are old enough to be called history — and dangerous enough to kill again.
