One man’s justice is another man’s crime.When DI Max Angel and DS Catalina Kincade are called to Southampton Old Cemetery, not all of the dead bodies they encounter are ancient relics buried six feet under. In the untamed wilderness of the cemetery's darkest corner a woman sits propped against one of the old gravestones, her hands bound together as if in prayer. As Angel and his team piece together the final days of the murdered woman's life and it becomes clear she went voluntarily to meet her killer, two questions vex the team - who did she arrange to meet in a graveyard at night, and why? From a dying man's deathbed confession to a children's home long-since burned to the ground to a charity for military veterans, Angel needs his whole team pulling together as they link the present with the past. What he can’t afford is for Kincade to go off the rails as she prepares to bare her soul and tell the truth about her fall from grace. As echoes of the past grow ever louder and rumours of a miscarriage of justice caused by incompetent policing become impossible to ignore, one thing becomes all too clear. As far as the killer is concerned, true justice can't be found in any statute book - it lives in the eye and cold heart of the beholder.
