If everyone is lying, who do you trust?
Dr Cheryl Woodward has the perfect Cambridge life: groundbreaking research, a golden marriage, two children, investors ready to make it all pay. Then, on the night of her fortieth birthday, a boy dies in a stupid teenage stunt - and it's her son who filmed it.
Grief needs someone to blame, and the dead boy's father chooses her son. As the police return with harder questions and a second death touches the family, Cheryl discovers how little of her life will stand scrutiny. Everyone she loves has something to hide. As does she - and hers has stayed hidden for thirty years.
DS Jo Boden knows what it costs to keep a secret. She's paying for hers every day.
To protect her son, Cheryl may have to tell the truth. All of it.
A DS Jo Boden Thriller. Book 4.
