And then Eleanor's body is discovered lying in a small loch close to the cliff edge.Detectives Jimmy Perez and Willow Reeves are dispatched to investigate. Before she went missing, Eleanor claimed to have seen the ghost of a local child who drowned in the 1920s. Her interest in the ghost had seemed unhealthy-obsessive, even-to her friends: an indication of a troubled mind. But Jimmy and Willow are convinced that there is more to Eleanor's death than they first thought.Is there a secret that lies behind the myth? One so shocking that someone would kill-many years later-to protect?Ann Cleeves' striking new novel is a quintessential whodunit with surprises at every turn.
