A tiny voice in her head screamed, Go go go!
With her heart thundering in her ears, she readied herself.
Downstairs, the footsteps stopped. As if he’d sensed her. As if he could smell her fear . . .
It’s the morning of her granddaughter’s first day at school when DI Nyree Bradshaw receives news of a double homicide on the private island of Motutaranui. Two victims have been gunned down — Amanda McKay, who inherited the island over her two brothers, and a John Doe.
Struggling to balance raising her grandchild with solving the case, Nyree winds up in a labyrinth of potential leads in a close-knit community where everyone seems to be hiding something.
Nyree discovers that Amanda intended to return the island to its original owners, the local iwi, when she was killed. The deeper Nyree digs, the more secrets she unearths, including the bones of a child . . .
