The latest Detective Kate Miles novel finds her frustratingly sidelined from a case that has her estranged brother Luke as a person of interest. 

Weeks from Christmas in the sweltering heat of summer, Luke returns home to Esserton to farewell a childhood friend - Ant Reed, dead by suicide. Within days of the funeral, another young man, Marcus Rowntree, is found shot dead in the back paddock of his property. 

Almost twenty years ago, Luke, Ant and Marcus were best mates in high school and now two of the three friends are dead. A tragic coincidence? Or is there something more sinister connecting the three men? 

Battling accusations of conflict of interest, unwanted attention from the press, and uncomfortable truths about Luke's personal life and past events come to light, Kate is forced to contend between loyalty to the police force, and the bonds of friendship and blood.
