Vera Stanhope, a Detective Inspector, was asked by her boss to do a talk at a local prison about victims experience. After the meeting with the inmates, an old man in a wheelchair insisted that he speak with her. Vera knew who the man was right away. Former detective superintendent, John Brace. Brace was convicted of corruption and involvement in the death of a gamekeeper. Vera played her part in putting him in prison. But what would he want to speak to her about?
This book tell of a Gang of Four all whom we know except for one, "The Prof". We have a cold case missing person and the death of one of the Gang. John Brace tells Vera where to find Robbie Marshall's, bones but wait, there's another set of bones! John, seem to have forgotten to tell that part to Vera. Vera and her team keeps very busy and continually on the go trying to find clues and that means digging up part of Vera's childhood history along with old crimes, bringing them to life. Hector, Vera's father and one of the Four, haunts her from his grave. When we have another death and a break-in things start to heat up. They all seem to be connected to The Gang of Four!
This book is very well written and kept me interested to the very last page! I didn't want it to end. Each character was given a strong background to work with.
