A retired nurse escapes from a rowdy birthday party, hoping to find peace in her hotel room. Instead, she steps into a nightmare.

From her balcony in the quaint Warwickshire town of Queensbridge, she witnesses a brutal crime through a window . . . a young woman being strangled.

Detective Sergeant Sunita Roy — attending a wedding in the same hotel — is first on the scene, and quickly realises this isn’t a random attack. The victim, glamorous beauty influencer Candy Goodhope, was living a double life — and everyone close to her has something to hide.

Roy’s boss, DCI Gavin Roscoe, takes charge of the investigation, and as the pair follow the trail, another brutal killing tears through the town. Roy is sure there’s a link between both murders, while Roscoe isn’t convinced.

But as she digs more deeply, she closes in on a secret so dangerous someone will kill to protect it.
Because in this town, the past never stays buried — and even the dead still have a voice.

Roy is newly promoted. Quick-thinking and direct, sometimes too ready to challenge the rules.
