'Cool, incisive tale of collusive amorality - from one of the crime shelf's defter hands' - THE GUARDIAN 'Gwen Moffat creates vivid characters, and not only manages a fast-moving, well-patterned plot but also shows an apptitude for brilliant, atmospheric set pieces' - DAILY MAIL When a Lakeland dale is flooded to form a reservoir there are no protests, only relief. The rising water should cover the remains of little Joannie Gardner, and folk can forget both the child and the man who left the dale shortly after her disappearance. Forty-five years on, as the water recedes in a prolonged drought, a dog's ghastly find revives the events and rumours surrounding Joannie's disappearance. Then another violent death occurs and it is amateur sleuth Melinda Pink who makes the connections to reveal more horrors than had ever been suspected.
