No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
Five friends meet. Only four come home.
On Christmas morning, DS Robin Butler has no plans to celebrate. Heβll be glad to get back to work β a wish that comes true sooner than he anticipates. A dog walker at a local beach has discovered five unresponsive people strewn across the shingle. By the time Robin arrives, one is pronounced dead, and the other four are being treated in hospital.
DC Freya West is less than pleased when the romantic day with her boyfriend is scuppered, but duty calls. As she and Butler speak to those involved, itβs clear something is being left unsaid. They claim they are friends, and that they donβt know how one of the group was killed. But why are they so cagey?
A cold case investigation unlocks some answers about the history between the beach-going gang, yet theyβre tight-lipped about what prompted them to meet on Christmas Eve. Butler and West are getting nowhere, and their partnership is about to face another test. When Freya wants to come clean about events in her past, itβs not just her neck on the line, but Robinβs too. Can their relationship survive if their pact of silence is broken?
