A dark psychological thriller featuring Diane Fry and Ben Cooper, in which a small community is ripped apart by arson and murder.

‘Ingenious plotting and richly atmospheric’ – Reginald Hill.

An assassination in the night – an open window and three bullets from the darkness – the victim a harmless middle-aged woman. But can she really be quite as innocent as she seems? The death of Rose Shepherd swarms with questions – unlike the deaths of a woman and her two children in a house fire. A tragedy, yes, but an everyday one.
