Stella Darnell is the detective's
daughter. She's convinced she's found a crime scene. But what was the
crime, and who was the victim?

A haunted house, a broken
family and a body that has never been found. Stella and Jack must
reawaken the secrets of the past in order to solve the mysteries of the
present.

January, 1987. In the depths of winter, only joggers
and dog walkers brave the Thames towpath after dark. Helen Honeysett, a
young newlywed, sets off for an evening run from her riverside cottage.
Only her dog returns.

Twenty-nine years later, her husband has
asked Stella Darnell, a private detective, and her side-kick Jack
Harmon, to find out what happened all those years ago.

But when
the five households on that desolate stretch of towpath refuse to give
up their secrets, Stella and Jack find themselves hunting a killer whose
trail has long gone cold...
