Richard Beaumont hoped to see the elusive crow on the Dover cliffs. Instead he sees a young woman falling to her death. No one recognizes her, and no one has reported her missing. Richard returns, shaken, to his wife, but instead of seeking comfort in Lilian´s presence, he locks himself away and obsessively paints the scene of the woman´s broken body on the rocks.
Unable to forget what he has witnessed, Richard finds solace in Sarah Fortune´s seductive company. As they are drawn into a search for the dead girl´s identity, they stumble upon a trade that is both breathtakingly lucrative and chillingly cruel.
This arresting mystery is perfect for fans of Ian Rankin and Louise Penny.
