A brief report about the discovery of a baby's remains at a building site attracts journalist Kate Waters's attention. For some readers, it is an easily forgotten item; for others, it touches a loss or secret that has shaped their lives for years. As Kate investigates, the stories of different women begin to connect around the child and the circumstances in which it was buried. Memories and private fears complicate her search, making the truth both difficult to establish and dangerous to reveal. Fiona Barton's psychological thriller follows the consequences of bringing a hidden past into public view, exploring grief, deception and the responsibility involved in telling someone else's story.
