Publisher's Synopsis
One murder has haunted Lieutenant Jonathan Stride for thirty years. In 1977 his girlfriend's sister was savagely beaten to death. Stride came face to face with the suspect - and let the man escape. And when writer Tish Verdure begins a book about the murder, he's reluctant to re-open the case. But Tish has new evidence that raises questions about the actions of the police...and even Stride's own wife. Then Tish receives threats, and a teenage girl is hounded to her death. Stride investigates a voyeur who may hold the key to two brutal crimes. Then as he finds himself in a devastating confrontation high above the deadly waters of Lake Superior, he and Tish must face their worst fears - and the truth about the past.
