On a hot summer day in 1973, law student Christopher Kingstone's life is irreversibly changed when he finds the body of his cousin April, violently murdered in her family home in Crosby, Liverpool.
Four decades later and Chris, now a top London QC, has enough on his plate with a broken down marriage, unruly daughter and bickering colleagues when an unusual package arrives bearing the dying wish of his late uncle. Before long he finds himself returning to his native city to reluctantly undertake a hopeless task – unmasking April's killer so long after any clues have dried up.
But as he delves deeper into the murky waters of the past, skeletons begin to tumble from closets and as things spiral rapidly out of control he discovers all too late that sometimes the past should be left firmly in the past.
The posthumously released debut novel by Edinburgh based QC, author, poet and historian Andrew M. Hajducki is a thought-provoking and brooding crime/mystery thriller that draws you in and keeps you hooked until the final paragraph.
