Synopsis

The Cambridgeshire hamlet of Jude's Ferry is a lonely, forgotten spot. Requisitioned decades earlier by the Ministry of Defence for military training, one of its few claims to fame is that in its entire thousand-year history,
it never recorded a single crime.
But when a Territorial Army exercise is held amongst the ruins, a skeleton is found hanging in a bricked-up cellar, a noose round the neck. It seems that the ghostly village may hide many secrets and local newspaper reporter Philip Dryden is soon on the case.
Then a man, pulled unconscious from the river at nearby Ely, claims to have lost his memory, yet reacts with startled fear to the name Jude's Ferry ...

    A gripping crime novel of two sisters—one has disappeared, the other is behind bars. 
    The sisters, born in different times and places, only learned of each other's existence through their father’s will. Their meeting was far from a happy family reunion. The discovery of shared inheritance sparked tension, and now one sister is missing under mysterious circumstances, while the other is in prison, claiming she’s been wrongly accused. 
    With no other family to turn to, the incarcerated sister reaches out to a crime journalist, insisting on her innocence through a series of determined letters. But as the journalist digs deeper, he uncovers a story that may be far darker and more shocking than anything she’s revealed.
