Some secrets never wash away…
Along the flat Essex coastline, deep in the heart of Southend-on-Sea, the body of a man is discovered in an allotment, half-naked and heavily mutilated.
The investigation quickly falls to DS Tomek Bowen of Essex Police who, thirty years before, found his dead brother in a similar location and manner one evening after school.
His brother’s murder had been random, a vicious and evil act that saw his killer face life imprisonment. But when the man's identity is uncovered, it becomes clear this was no random act.

As Tomek begins to peel back the dark and rotten layers of the victims’ lives, more and more secrets are revealed, along with a shocking revelation that will force Tomek to question everything he’s ever known about his brother’s death. But can he catch the killer before they strike again?
