New York Times bestseller Deborah Crombie returns with a "gripping police procedural" (Washington Post) featuring Scotland Yard detectives Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James as they race to solve the shocking murder of a young woman before panic spreads across London. On a rainy November evening, trainee doctor Sasha Johnson hurries through the evening crowd in London's historic Russell Square. Out of the darkness, someone jostles her as they brush past. A moment later, Sasha stumbles, then collapses. When Detective Superintendent Duncan Kincaid and his sergeant, Doug Cullen, are called to the scene, they discover that she's been stabbed. Kincaid immediately calls in his detective wife, Gemma James, who has recently been assigned to a task force on knife crimes which are on the rise. Along with her partner, detective sergeant Melody Talbot, Gemma aids the investigation. But Sasha Johnson doesn't fit the profile of the task force's typical knife crime victim. Single, successful, career-driven, she has no history of abusive relationships or any connection to gangs. Sasha had her secrets, though, and some of them lead the detectives uncomfortably close to home. As the team unravels the victim's tangled connections, another murder raises the stakes. Kincaid, Gemma, and their colleagues must put even friendships on the line to find the killer stalking the dark streets of Bloomsbury.

Detective Superintendent Duncan Kincaid and his wife, Detective Inspector Gemma James, are invited to a relaxing weekend in the picturesque Cotswolds, known for its stunning landscapes and historic charm. They are guests at Beck House, the estate of Melody Talbot, Gemma's trusted sergeant, whose family is wealthy and influential. The highlight of their stay is a charity luncheon featuring chef Viv Holland, who has returned to Gloucestershire after a decade in London, aiming to showcase her culinary talents. However, a tragic car accident and a series of mysterious deaths threaten to derail Viv's burgeoning career. As details emerge, it becomes evident that the killer has ties to Viv's pub and possibly to Beck House itself. The investigation reveals connections to the past and exposes tangled relationships and resentments among the staff at both locations. Secrets held by Viv, her business partner Bea Abbot, and Viv's young daughter Grace complicate matters further. As revelations unfold, Duncan and Gemma, along with their colleagues, are drawn deeper into the case, making it one of their most critical investigations, especially for Melody Talbot, with personal and professional stakes at an all-time high.

Gemma has a personal connection to the case, as Reagan was the nanny of a child from the same dance studio as her son, Toby. As Gemma investigates, she learns that Reagan's death follows a tragic accident involving a young boy in the same park. When another resident is violently killed, it becomes evident that sinister forces are at work. Boatman and Gemma must act quickly to prevent further loss of life. Meanwhile, Kincaid grapples with unsettling questions about previous cases involving the force. His fears escalate when a close Metropolitan Police officer is brutally attacked, leading him to suspect a traitor within the ranks. As Gemma edges closer to solving her case, she realizes the stakes are high, with a child's fate hanging in the balance.
