A private investigator’s past catches up with him when a body is found…
When a dry spell exposes human remains at the bottom of a reservoir, ex-DCI Henry Ward takes a trip down memory lane.
He’d been in charge of the investigation when Maureen Villers went missing fifteen years earlier, and her unexplained disappearance has bothered him ever since.
Now that murder has been established, her husband becomes the prime suspect and asks Henry for help.
Despite not being persuaded of his innocence, Henry is determined to revisit the crime. He owes it to the victim he let down all those years ago.
But someone is keen to keep the truth hidden. Will Henry outwit whoever’s hiding in the shadows?
