With her half-brother Miles and her husband determined to investigate the circumstances surrounding her father's death, herbalist China Bayles reluctantly joins in to uncover the truth, but she and McQuaid soon discover that Miles may be hiding more secrets than he apparently is willing to reveal. By the author of Spanish Dagger.
China's herb shop and catering business may be thriving, but she's still reeling from the circumstances surrounding her father's death, Which means she isn't remotely interested in her half brother's investigation into those events, China's husband, on the other hand, has no such qualms about following Miles' lead and finding out more. And when fate forces her to get involved as well, China realizes it's time to bring the past to light - or else it will haunt her for the rest of her life.
But China and McQuaid discover that Miles may have been keeping as many secrets as he seemed determined to uncover - for starters, knowledge of the whereabouts of their father's wrecked car, a missing key piece of evidence, How deep do the layers of secrecy go? And who has a stake in concealing the truth after sixteen years?
Piecing together clues, China and McQuaid embark on what feels like a wild-goose chase, tracking down tile evidence that might prove how several old cold case murders are related to her father's death. But the closer they get to untangling the story, the more China longs for answers to her past that she may never get.
