On a beautiful spring morning in mid-May, in one of Notting Hill<U+2019>s private gardens, the pretty young woman in the white dress looks to passersby as if she<U+2019>s sleeping. But Reagan Keating has been murdered, and lead detective, DI Kerry Boatman, turns to Detective Investigator, Gemma James for help, as Gemma has a personal connection to the case. It seems Reagan was the nanny of a child who attends the same dance studio as Toby, Gemma and Kincaid<U+2019>s son. Gemma soon discovers that Reagan<U+2019>s death is not the first tragedy in this idyllic London spot; a few months before, a young boy died in a tragic accident. When still another violent end befalls a third garden resident, it<U+2019>s clear that Boatman and Gemma must top the killer before another innocent life is taken. Meanwhile, Kincaid finds himself haunted by disturbing connections between past events and several previous<U+2014>and seemingly unrelated<U+2014>cases that involved members of Scotland Yard, that the crimes are linked. Are his family and friends in mortal danger as well? When a Metropolitan Police officer close to him is brutally attacked, Kincaid<U+2019>s hunch turns to certainty that there<U+2019>s a traitor in the ranks. Kincaid now fears he can<U+2019>t trust anyone. A child<U+2019>s fate and a life spent in the pursuit of justice both hang in the balance in this taut, thrilling novel.
