Publisher's Synopsis
Years of policing have turned John Handford and Khalid Ali into two of the best investigators on their force. Now promotion has set the newly-styled DCI Handford and DI Ali on separate cases. Handford is on the trail of a young woman who's vanished without trace, while Ali is tracking the killer of a 96-year-old pensioner, but the stories of these two women, generations apart, look set to converge. They must investigate spurned lovers, feuding families, cash-hungry conmen and even the ghosts of men buried alive a century back, to unpick the bitter motivations behind the rising body count.
