Murder, secrets and lies in the city of Durham.

In a Durham boarding house at dawn, Pastor Tristan Snow is murdered while he prays.

Detective Inspector Erica Martin's investigation encounters a host of suspects all staying in the boarding house.

Violet Snow, his daughter, who seems unsurprised by her father's murder. Sera Snow, his inscrutable wife. Her sister, Antonia, who was closer to the Pastor than anyone yet knows. And Fraser McKenzie, Snow's manager and best friend, who has his own dark secrets to hide.

DI Martin soon learns that this is a case in which nothing is what it seems, and no-one is innocent...
