The discovery of Virginia Mintar's body in a well sends Inspector Thanet and Mike Lineham into the private world of a prominent barrister's family. Beneath its respectable surface lie difficult relationships, suspected infidelity and the unresolved disappearance of a daughter four years earlier. Another daughter's engagement adds further complications as the detectives begin to test the explanations offered by those closest to Virginia. With personal concerns also demanding Thanet's attention, the investigation becomes an unsettling search through the family's past and present. Dorothy Simpson's mystery explores the damage caused by secrets and the tensions concealed within apparently secure lives.
