About this audiobook
Keeping secrets comes at a deadly price
After a scandal forces DI Kelly Porter out of the Met, she returns home to the Lake District. There she begins work on a shocking cold case – the abduction and brutal murder of ten-year-old Lottie Davis. The girl was taken during a birdwatching trip when her parents were distracted for just a few minutes. Was it an opportunist crime or a cold-blooded plan by someone who'd been watching and waiting?
Meanwhile, Kelly is investigating two apparently unrelated cases: a baby abandoned on the dales and the death of a local businessman. But soon the evidence reveals a tangled web of criminal activity. Behind the veneer of sleepy, touristy towns lies a dangerous underworld and the DI risks paying the ultimate price to get to the truth...
