´This is one of these novels where you read it, not just to see what happens at the end, but to see what happens on the very next page´ Booklist
When a body is hauled from the River Tyne, Sarah Tucker heads to Newcastle for a closer look. She identifies the dead woman as private detective Zoe Boehm, but putting a name to the corpse only raises further questions. Did Zoe kill herself, or did one of her old cases come back to haunt her? Why was she wearing the jacket a murderer had stolen years before? And what´s brought Sarah´s former sparring partner Gerard Inchon to the same broken-down hotel where she´s staying? Coincidence is an excuse that soon appears pretty unconvincing. Sarah can´t leave until she´s found the answers to her questions, however dangerous they might turn out to be.
