Publisher's Synopsis
It's London, in the 1990s, and the Symmonds family are coming to terms with the devastating loss of their mum and wife. John, the father of the four Symmonds children, is consumed by grief but pours what little strength and energy he has into focusing on them, and is grateful for the unequivocal support of his mother-in-law. As the two girls and boys mature into adulthood, the family is yet again thrown into turmoil following the murder of Molly, the eldest daughter. Vengeance is now the highest priority of the entire Symmonds family. Kirsty, the only daughter left, turns sleuth and makes some dark discoveries. John takes the law into his own hands with fatal consequences. The realisation that another girl in the local area had also previously gone missing sparks further investigation by Kirsty and her new friend Marlon. And it isn't long before the mysterious, criminal and seedy past of the local landlord comes to light. Follow this gripping read through its unanticipated twists and turns, the murders, the mistaken identity, the kidnapping, the tantalising cat and mouse chase, the explosions and fireworks, and the secret-knit group of friends whose ranks are well and truly closed to outsiders, and discover how one incident changes the lives of so many people in this little London suburb forever.
