A young man is found hanging from a tree, with nothing to identify him. Was he driven to suicide, or was he silenced? Somebody knows, but they’re not saying. With potential witnesses too scared to talk to her, can DI Manon Bradshaw discover the truth before more innocent people die?

Newly married and navigating life with a preschooler as well as her adopted adolescent son, Manon Bradshaw is happy to be working part-time in the cold-cases department of the Cambridgeshire police force, a job that allows her to potter in, coffee in hand, and log on for a spot of Internet shopping - precisely what she had in mind when she thought of work-life balance.

As dusk falls, a young man staggers through a park, far from home, bleeding from a stab wound. He dies where he falls, cradled by a stranger, a woman's name on his lips in his last seconds of life. Detective Manon Bradshaw handles only cold cases. Five months pregnant, in pursuit of a work-life balance rather than romantic love, she's focused on being a good mother to her two children: her adopted 12-year-old son, Fly Dent, and the new baby.

Manon Bradshaw är 39 år, och även om hon är en respekterad medlem av poliskåren och älskar sitt jobb önskar hon sig ett annat privatliv. Manon är singel, längtar efter barn, och stämpeln "desperat medelålders kvinna" närmar sig. En sen kväll, efter ännu en katastrofal nätdejt, sätter hon som vanligt på polisradion för att låta dess bakgrundsljud vagga henne till sömns - och hör ett meddelande som får henne att omedelbart bege sig till en förbryllande brottsplats.
