From the award-winning author of Hide and Fall comes a taut tale of renegade justice and long-awaited resolution, bringing the thrilling Detective Harriet Foster series to a heart-stopping conclusion. Hardwicke House, home to Belverton College’s exclusive Minotaur Society, is no stranger to tragedy. And when a body turns up in the field next to the mansion, the scene looks chillingly familiar.

Dru’s Short Musing:
Justice prevails in the intensifying drama that I could not put down until all was said and done.

As the team investigates the dead body found on the premise, it bears a striking and eerie familiarity to an incident that happened many years ago in the same spot. The more they follow up, it becomes apparent someone is out for justice and will do whatever it takes to make it right. Meanwhile Harri is determined to prove that her partner did not commit suicide. I like the symmetry between the murder investigation and the exoneration of Harri’s former partner. The author did a great job in staging this mystery with a wickedly solid plot, visually descriptive narrative, and engaging dialogue that kept me immersed in all aspects from the first page to the exploding conclusion. Overall, this was a riveting and grippingly suspenseful tale, and I can’t wait to see what awaits Harri, Vera, and the rest of the team.
