She thought she knew her husband.

She thought their past was the truth.

She was wrong.

Tina Bolotnikov, widowed after her husband Sasha was killed in a car accident, relocates to her hometown on the south coast to bring up her young son. Her life back in London is now a distant memory.

DS John Nightingale saw his partner killed in the line of duty and has made it his mission to bring the Russian gang responsible to justice. Five years on, the killer is still free but as reports come in of Sasha Bolotnikov's brother returning to the UK, John is tasked with tracking him down.

Before long Tina finds herself an unwitting connection to a world she knew nothing about. As the investigation draws her closer to DS Nightingale, professional lines are blurred and crossed, and only he holds the key to her future.
