Local miscreant Brady Brewer is convicted and hanged for the brutal murder of Sarah Downham, despite his protestations of innocence and his sister's pleas for DCI Henry Johnstone's help. Two weeks later, the body of another young woman is found nearby. Is a copycat killer on the loose, or was Brewer innocent after all?

As the locals close ranks, Henry and Mickey soon discover that reputations - and the truth - are all on the line . . .
