Publisher's Synopsis
In January 1986, newly engaged Marnie Driscoll is found dead in her parents' kitchen, and it appears that the circumstances of her death will remain a mystery. Six months later, DI Andrew Joyce finds himself unwillingly transferred to an obscure division in Manchester. The Ballroom team employs unorthodox methods to crack cold cases, and sceptical Joyce must find a way to work with Peggy Swan, a reclusive ex-socialite who can communicate with the dead. Joyce soon discovers that Marnie's death, initially dismissed as an opportunistic act of violence, actually seems to be a carefully orchestrated murder. It will take both Joyce's skill as an investigator and Peggy's connection to her new ghostly charge to navigate the web of secrets surrounding the case before the killer can strike again.
