What The Ashes Know (An Ines Calder Mystery)
Some truths don't stay buried. They wait.
A year after exposing the case that changed everything, Detective Sergeant Ines Calder is pulled into another investigation when retired detective Frank Milner barely survives a deliberate arson attack at his remote lakeside cabin.
The fire was no accident.
Before the flames took hold, Frank had been digging into something dangerous - a trail of buried convictions, compromised testimony and secrets powerful people had spent decades keeping hidden. What he managed to save from the fire points Calder towards a corruption network far larger than anything she expected to uncover.
With Frank fighting for his life, Calder follows the clues he left behind into a past filled with betrayal, cover-ups and people willing to do anything to protect themselves.
The deeper she digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes.
Old loyalties are tested. People she thought she understood begin to reveal secrets of their own. And Calder soon realises that the fire at Frank's cabin was never simply about destroying evidence.
It was a warning.
But some truths survive the flames.
What the Ashes Know is a dark, atmospheric crime thriller about corruption, loyalty, buried evidence and the cost of refusing to stop searching for the truth. The second Ines Calder mystery, following What the River Keeps.
