Worse still - both for his family and the police - the body was in an area that had already been searched, ten years ago.Everyone has secrets Detective Inspector Siobhan Clarke is part of a new inquiry, combing through the mistakes of the original case. There were always suspicions over how the investigation was handled and now - after a decade without answers - it's time for the truth.Nobody is innocent Every officer involved must be questioned, and it seems everyone on the case has something to hide, and everything to lose.None more so than Detective John Rebus.
