A double murder. A toxic past. A family secret.
There's no law against keeping secrets...

My name is Justine Stone.

I left home twelve years ago, never to return.

Now my ex-boyfriend, Jake, has been accused of a double murder in the town where we grew up. It's my job as a barrister to make the case against him.

But to face the courts, I need to know the truth. The real truth about what happened when we were young - not just the story I'll spin the jury.

To reach the heart of it, I must face up to the part my own family played.

Even if it means risking my life.
