Did you see anything on the night the Esmond family were murdered?
It’s Christmas in Oxford, and firefighters have pulled two children from the smoking ruin of their home – one dead, one clinging to life. The mystery deepens when it becomes clear the parents are nowhere to be found. Why were the children left in the house alone? Were their parents kidnapped? Murdered?
From the start, DI Adam Fawley – still reeling from his own personal tragedy – knows that this house fire is the scene of a crime, not an accident. As new evidence emerges, it becomes one of the most disturbing cases he has ever worked.
