Synopsis

She's killed before. She'll kill again.

Senior police officer Florence Lovelady returns to Sabden to honour a promise made to dying Larry Glassbrook, a serial killer she put away for murder. Four child skeletons have been uncovered near a children's home, and Larry insists these are not ancient remains.

Liberated by the news of her father Larry's death, Cassie Glassbrook is now free to revisit her hometown to win back the love of her childhood sweetheart. She'll stop at nothing to get him back.

As the two women return to the town that nearly took their lives thirty years ago, long-buried secrets are unearthed that could destroy them all.
