A promise made to a dying man leads forensics ace Enzo Macleod to a study that has been preserved for nearly twenty years-untouched since the man's unsolved murder. The dead man left several clues in the study designed to reveal his killer's identity to his son, but the son died soon after the father and never set eyes on the father's legacy.
This fifth of seven cold cases takes Enzo to a tiny island off the coast of Brittany, where he must confront hostile locals who have no desire to see the infamous murder back in the headlines. An attractive widow, a man acquitted of the murder, a crime scene frozen in time, a dangerous hell hole by the cliffs, and a collectioin of impenetrable messages make this one of Enzo's most challenging cases.
Peter May is the author of 16 novels including two series: The Enzo Files and The China Thrillers. Winner of the French Prix Intramuros in 2007, May is the only Westerner to become an honorary member of the Chinese Crime Writers' Association. www.enzomacleod.com
