Description
In the Cornish seaside town of St Ives, Detective Sergeant Sophie Keane appears to have it all—until the opening night of a new art gallery draws attention to a body that should have stayed buried. As the investigation begins, Sophie is forced to confront a twenty-year secret tied to the killer’s unmistakable signature, even as a charismatic newcomer, Gabriel Rowe, arrives and complicates everything. With every clue, the town’s close-knit loyalties fracture and suspicion spreads, turning familiar faces into potential threats. Blending fast-paced suspense with romance, humour, and a distinctly literary edge, this mystery showcases L. J. Ross’s gift for sharp characterization and atmospheric storytelling.
