Gilbert Hastings and Lucy Dellow think they've scored the perfect Student Job Search placement: a quiet renovation project in Arbor Valley, far from exams and city noise. But the old house they're sent to restore hides more than peeling paint. Someone doesn't want them there - and someone is watching. When the house they're staying in is burnt to the ground, and the owner is murdered, Gilbert is blamed. Lucy vanishes. Trapped in a maze of lies, hunted by a killer with a long-nursed grudge, Gilbert races to find Lucy before she disappears for good. Deep in the old boat slipway, where the sea surges in and the light dies, their hands almost meet... but the truth may drag them both under. In Arbor Valley, the past isn't buried: it's waiting.
