Unearthed with someones long-buried inheritance, the victim seems to belong to the distant past - until new evidence suggests otherwise, and Karen is called in to unravel a case where nothing is as it seems.

Its not long before an overheard conversation draws Karen into the heart of a different case, however - a shocking crime she thought shed already prevented. As she inches closer to the twisted truths at the centre of these murders, it becomes clear that shes dealing with a version of justice terrifyingly different to her own . . .
