Broadchurch meets Harlan Coben in the most compulsive thriller you'll read all year. Whether you've read Robert Gold before or whether you're discovering him for the first time, this is your next addictive read.

Secrets only survive in the dark

When journalist Ben Harper is asked to help re-examine an unsolved murder case from thirty years ago, he immediately agrees. It's not just that the victim was also a journalist, murdered after she'd published a series of shocking interviews with victims of domestic abuse. It's also that he understands all too well the need of victim's daughter, Doctor Uma Jha, for answers.

But it's not long before their investigation leads to threats being made on Uma's life. Ben needs to unravel this crime before it's too late, but instead he finds himself tangled in a web of lies and deception. After all, a crime like murder has implications for many people.

People who have been keeping secrets for thirty years, and will do whatever it takes to protect them.
