Edinburgh, 2000s, When archaeologist Rachel Green inherits a small fortune from a woman she barely remembers from her childhood she is drawn into a mystery from World War Two.

‘In a genre where we usually find polemic, melodrama or worthy-but-predictable tragedy, Sheridan has written a proper, character-driven novel…a pessimistic exploration of how ordinary and even good people, once locked into a certain mind-set, can do blatantly evil things yet think them good and right... so well written you never notice the writing’
Glasgow Herald

'A thriller for a new generation . . . Sara Sheridan will go far.'
Harpers & Queen
