Summary

In a town full of secrets the truth must be uncovered before it's buried forever.
When a police detective is found murdered in the town of Wakestead, all clues point to local woman Amma Reynolds.
Amma has a clear motive. She hates the police for failing to properly investigate her brother's death, which was written off as an accidental drowning.
Amma has always believed her brother was murdered. Could she have killed DI Mark Stormont in revenge?
Former detective and private investigator Erin Crane is hired to find out.
As she digs deeper, Erin realises that first she needs to uncover why Amma's brother turned up dead in a river all those years ago. Even if it means tearing her friendship with DI Lewis Jennings apart.
Because there are some secrets the Wakestead police force would rather stay buried…

    If someone had asked Sherlock Holmes later in the year, there is little doubt that he would have said his life began that spring day in 1871 when he met Violet Rushdale upon the moors and ended in the winter some months distant. His mother would have disputed the former claim, and many, both friend and foe, would come to deny the latter. Yet what happened that year nearly cost him his life and his sanity, and strongly influenced the man he was to become. It is well known that the toughest steel that makes the sharpest swords must be plunged into the fire, then beaten and reshaped. So it is as well with the best and wisest of men. 
    The Crack in the Lens tells the tale of how and WHY a young Sherlock Holmes forged himself into the Great Detective.
