Detective Peter Porteous is called to Cranwell Lake where the body of a teenager has been discovered. After trawling through the missing persons files, he deduces that the corpse is Michael Grey, an enigmatic and secretive young man who was reported missing by his foster parents in 1972.
For country prison officer Hannah Morton, it is the shock of her life. Michael had been her boyfriend, and she had been with him the night he disappeared. The news report that a body has been found brings back dreaded and long buried memories from her past.

This is the first book by the author I've read that hasn't been part of the Vera, Shetland or Two Rivers series. I was curious to see what her other books were like and I really liked the title of the book. This is a great book, on bar with other books I've read. Porteous is a great character, made of flesh and blood. This has everything I'd expect from a thriller; fast pace, twists and turns and lots of suspense. I had a terrific time reading it.
