A desecrated grave, an unforgotten crime, and a no-nonsense detective on the case

Memories come flooding back to DCI John Blizzard when the grave of a murdered woman and her child is desecrated. He recalls the younger sister in the family who was never found, though presumed deceased. Having always suspected the father, now a wealthy businessman, Blizzard has the case reopened. But when he probes into this past crime, feathers are ruffled, a new murder is committed and what was dead and buried, comes very much alive.
