Description

THE FIFTH TOM REYNOLDS MYSTERY FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE PERFECT LIE

'Fiendishly clever...' - Irish Sunday Independent

Kids can be so cruel.

They'll call you names.

Hurt your feelings.

Push you to your death.

In the garden of an abandoned house, Luke Connolly lies broken, dead. The night before, he and his friends partied inside. Nobody fought, everybody else went home safely. And yet, Luke was raped and pushed to his death. His alleged attacker is now in custody.

DCI Tom Reynolds is receiving the biggest promotion of his career when a colleague asks him to look at the Connolly case, believing it's not as cut and dried as local investigators have made out. And as Tom begins to examine the world Connolly and his upper class friends inhabited, the privilege and protection afforded to them, he too realises something.

In this place, people cover up for each other.

Even when it comes to murder.

Discover more DI Tom Reynolds with the next instalment of the acclaimed series, After the Fire.

For even more Jo Spain, be sure to check out her most exciting and thrilling work yet, The Perfect Lie.
