De: Janet Newton

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A man lies in an alley, beaten to death. Another man stumbles away, his memory of what happened erased by a blow to his head. Nearby, a walking stick has been flung aside, bloodied and broken.
In the most personal case he has ever investigated, DCI Will Cooper is assigned to solve a crime in which his former partner and nemesis, Sean Notley, is the main suspect. Although he has sworn to remain impartial, Will is desperate to atone for the actions which caused the rift between them and led to Notley’s quitting the force. The only way to ease his guilt is to prove Notley innocent, despite that all the evidence points to the contrary. Laser-focused on the case, he allows his domestic responsibilities to fall back on his new wife, Bronwyn, who is finding married life more than a bit overwhelming. Used to the freedom to wander the wild country of North Wales during her free time, she must now spend those hours fulfilling most of the parenting demands concerning Will’s niece Lark, as well as keeping their home life in order. When Bronwyn is questioned in a local murder, it becomes one burden too many, and she descends into grief and self-blame, believing that she could have prevented the death even if she wasn’t directly responsible for it. Her fragile emotional state leads her to say things to Will that she regrets, things that result in a rift that threatens a marriage already teetering.
