Publisher's Synopsis
When Detective Charlie Peace decides to relocate his family to the sleepy town of Slepton Edge, his dream can only become reality with the financial assistance of his stubborn father-in-law. Unfortunately for Charlie, Rupert agrees to provide the money only on the strict conditions that he moves in with them, or to a house nearby. With a heavy heart, Charlie purchases two neighbouring houses, hoping that the cosy community will warm his somewhat frosty family. When a mysterious death disturbs the calm, the network of neighbourhood gossip emerges as both Charlie's greatest ally and the biggest obstacle in his path to the truth.
