A body is found and questions must be answered - the conspiracy runs right to the top . . .
Miri Goldstein was a party girl - gregarious, beautiful, dangerous. Now that she's dead, some are able to breathe more easily. But the grave is not always good at keeping secrets and for those whose lives she touched, the truth is going to catch up with them.
When pathologist Harriet Hitchin is assigned to the Goldstein corpse, she's not looking to rock the boat - she's made enough mistakes in her career and now she's looking for the quiet life - but when the facts point not just to the murky Westminster underworld, but right to the corridors of power, this time she can't look the other way.
It's a case that will play mind games with all who come near - where the pleasures of the flesh meet our darkest desires for control, release and forgiveness. And if answers only come at the cost of confronting our inner demons, will anyone truly face their fears?
An electric thriller full of secrets, lies and hidden identities in this gripping thriller from Brooke Magnanti.
