Cat Kinsella used to be Daddy's little girl until the day she caught her father flirting with 17-year-old Maryanne from the neighborhood. When Maryanne disappears without a trace a few days later, Cat's father denies knowing her. Since then, Cat has been consumed by the secret, and their relationship will forever be marked by this sweet little lie.
Dad's a liar. But is he also a killer?
Even liars tell the truth sometimes. Sometimes...
Eighteen years later, twenty-six-year-old Cat Kinsella has gone from fat, curious girl to detective in London's Metropolitan Police, yet she has never been able to resolve the dark shadows from her past that haunt her. The team's latest case is that of a murdered woman, Alice, who was found near a pub run by her father. Alice Lapaine was a housewife who rarely left the village where she lived. So what was she doing in London, alone, at night? And is it possible that this murder and Maryanne's mysterious disappearance in Ireland eighteen years ago are linked?
Cat also has to ask another disturbing question - could her father have something to do with it?
