The sixth book in the DI Adam Fawley series. A man is found shot in a farmhouse kitchen, and the elderly couple who live there insist it was a burglar and that they only defended themselves. But Fawley sees too much that does not fit: why did the intruder carry no picks and no gloves? Why did the husband take so long to call for help? And why did the wife wash his bloodied clothes straight away?

Key highlights:

• The sixth part of the international bestselling Adam Fawley series
• An investigation in which every new detail demolishes the last theory
• The trail leads back to an old miscarriage of justice and buried secrets
• Reads as a standalone novel and as a continuation of the series
