What you need to know before your trail

As St Ives moves into the summer season, Chief Inspector Louis Peppiatt is handed the coldest of cold cases – a local farmer’s disappearance many years ago. Merrin McKenzie, who crossed Peppiatt’s path in a case the winter before, is related to the troubled family and among his first ports of call. The question is, who has something to hide decades later?

While searching for the thread that will reveal the mystery of the missing man, what Peppiatt and Merrin encounter has the power to shock. And in unearthing family secrets and emotional betrayals, the inner workings of the seemingly peaceful Cornish town are shockingly exposed.
