Midsummer, 1626
‘Alice knows she has gone too far. The warning is clear ...’
Leaving behind the tragedy of her life in High Stoke, Alice Jerrard is returning to Hillbury, the Dorset village that was her childhood home.
But when a travelling merchant is found dead and the main suspect is Wat Meredith, a servant within her friend’s household, Alice must race to uncover the truth before they run out of time.
Blackmail, jealousy and the secrets of a nearby dyeworks — a criminal trail leads back to Wat’s former master. But he was buried last year, so how is a long-dead villain still working to control all their lives?
Alice must be careful — for someone is a master of lies, and one man is already dead ...
A thrilling, page-turning read full of historical intrigue
