A body in the pool. A house full of liars. A killer no one wants found.

Early morning in one of London's most expensive homes — a Russian oligarch finds Charlotte Harrington, his personal assistant, floating face-down in the pool. His own belt draped across her back like a sash.

Within an hour he's in his panic room, claiming diplomatic immunity. The internal CCTV has been wiped.

DI Pippa Nash takes the call. She and DS Nick Moretti walk into Heath Hall expecting a domestic murder. They walk into something else.

The house manager wiped the cameras 'by accident'. The chef is evasive. The dog handler is an ex-copper with secrets of his own. And the man in the panic room won't speak to the police at all.

Every staff member has a story. Every story has a hole. Every piece of evidence has been touched, moved, or planted. And the deeper Nash digs, the louder the silence around her gets.

Charlotte Harrington's killer is still inside Heath Hall.

And every move Nash makes is being watched.

The blistering fourth case for London detectives Nash and Moretti. Perfect for fans of Mark Billingham, MJ Arlidge and Cara Hunter.

MEET THE DETECTIVES:
DS Nick Moretti lives alone on a barge in a London marina, drinks his coffee from mismatched charity-shop mugs, and builds model boats in his spare time. He smokes a pipe when he wants to think, forgets to charge his phone more often than is helpful, and works best on instinct. He's well-liked, not above bending procedure when it suits him, and counting the days to his next holiday in Corfu.

DI Pippa Nash is the kind of senior investigating officer her bosses don't always know how to handle. Career-driven, with a long stint in covert work behind her, she runs her team by three rules: assume nothing, believe no one, challenge everything. She writes in a blue counsel's notebook, pours stale coffee into the geranium on her office windowsill, and trains in martial arts when she's not working a job. Off-duty she rides motorbikes through Scotland, listens to Motörhead, and lives alone in a top-floor flat with no television. Uncompromising on the job, fiercely loyal to her team — and four cases in to a partnership that won't quit.
