Secrets can be fatal, but so can the truth. When the murdered body of Lauren Shaw is discovered laid out on the altar of St Mary the Virgin church in Eastbourne, it sends a chill to the core of those who have lived in the area for a long time. They remember another woman, also young and pretty, whose slain corpse was placed in the same spot 60 years ago.

Dee Doran is as intrigued as the rest, but focused on her investigation of the whereabouts of a missing person from the Polish community. The police were not interested, but Dee's journalistic instincts tell her something is amiss.

But as she starts asking questions, Dee finds the answers all point to the same conclusion: someone is keeping secrets, and they will do whatever it takes to keep them safe.

A chilling and gripping crime thriller that fans of Fiona Barton and Alex Marwood will love.
