When the father of the missing family is found dead in their hire car there is an urgent hunt for the rest of the family. But their identities are false and there's no hint of their history. How are the past and present connected?
A tense and atmospheric Welsh crime thriller. Perfect for fans of Clare Mackintosh and Fiona Cummins.
After the death of maths teacher Pippa Evans at an exclusive Welsh girls’ school, police consultant Mallory Dawson is asked to go undercover to discover if the death was murder or suicide. Mallory discovers a trail of clues left by the dead teacher - puzzles that she can only solve with the help of super-bright student Livvy - which leads her to a horrifying discovery. One of the teachers is a former member of the Solstice Sisterhood, a women's group that was disbanded after reports of punishment and coercive behavior. But which teacher did Pippa recognise and why was the killer so desperate to keep her past from staff and pupils?
