What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin
The #1 Sunday Times bestseller is back with a powerful, riveting novel, as maverick investigator Ray Lennox discovers that confronting his past could cost him everything.
OLD TRUTHS HAVE NEW CONSEQUENCES
Ray Lennox is determined to move on from his darkest days. The former detective has left Edinburgh for a fresh start in Brighton. Soon, his fixations and addictions have been replaced with quiet evenings and a rigorous fitness regime.
Then Lennox meets Mathew Cardingworth. Rich, smooth-talking and immaculately dressed, he presents himself as a successful, and respectable, property developer. Yet their encounter reawakens memories that have haunted Lennox for decades, sending him into a spiral of confusion and rage.
Lennox has no choice – he must confront the events of his childhood. But the more he identifies the links between Cardingworth, the disappearance of a group of foster care boys and the violence of his past, the more he finds himself asking:
What will he sacrifice to achieve resolution at last?
