In this exciting thriller, the murder squad are put to the test as their latest investigation uncovers dark secrets and uncomfortable truths.

Life, as DC Smith used to say, is just one thing after another. As one investigation ends, a new one begins. But for reasons unknown to the rest of her team, DCI Cara Freeman will be haunted by the next case for the Kings Lake Central murder squad. They find themselves delving into the seamy side of life in the town, and one of their members will have departed before this new investigation is over. Perhaps Detective Sergeant Chris Waters should have seen it coming but he has a lot more than work on his mind these days.
