What the City Keeps

By Ellis Thorne-Grey

When a body appears on the Thames foreshore bearing a mark from a grammar only Mara Cole knows how to read, the case should go to anyone else. It doesn't.

The dead man was a property developer. His six active sites ring the South Bank, and at the centre of that ring is the house.

Someone has been watching the arrangement for a long time. Someone who understands exactly what it holds - and what it costs to keep it hidden.

Calder Ashvane has protected this territory for three centuries. He has never had to protect it from the detective he married.

Mara has always followed the evidence. This time, it leads somewhere she cannot follow without losing everything else.
