What this book is about
Hilary Bonner's British crime thriller follows an investigation into a death that the official record explains too neatly — drawing readers into a world of scientific community secrets, personal grief, and the particular danger of asking the right questions in the wrong places. Bonner writes with psychological depth and genuine suspense.
