Everyone is a suspect…
Forced to take sabbatical leave from his duties as a homicide detective, Detective Chief Inspector Ryan retreats to Holy Island to seek sanctuary, wanting nothing more than quiet refuge. A few days before Christmas, however, his peace is shattered when a young woman is found dead amongst the ancient ruins of the nearby Priory, and he is thrust back into the murky world of murder.
When former local girl Dr. Anna Taylor arrives back on the island as a police consultant, old memories swim to the surface, forcing her to confront her difficult past. And as she and Ryan struggle to work together to hunt a killer who hides in plain sight, pagan ritual and small-town politics muddy the waters of their investigation.
With the causeway connecting Holy Island to the English mainland underwater most of the time, everyone in the isolated community quickly becomes a suspect. But when everyone is suspicious, who is left to trust?
