Every Secret Thing

Synopsis

Kate Murray is deeply troubled. In front of her lies a dead man, a stranger who only minutes before had spoken to her about a mystery, a long-forgotten murder…and her grandmother. His story was old, he had told her, but still deserving of justice.

Soon Kate is caught up in a dangerous whirlwind of events that leads her across the Atlantic as she tries to retrace the dead man’s footsteps and learn the secrets of her grandmother’s wartime past. But only a few people are still alive who know the story…and Kate soon realizes that her questions are putting their lives in danger.

Stalked by an unknown and sinister enemy, Kate must use her tough journalistic instinct to find the answers from the past in order to have a future.

This is crime writing at its most complex, intelligent best – exhausting and quite breathtaking.
