Two deaths. One village. Countless secrets buried beneath the Downs.

When tragedy strikes the peaceful village of Mertonhaugh, grief turns swiftly to suspicion. The magistrate’s spirited daughter dies suddenly under mysterious circumstances. Days later, the vicar’s wife is found at the base of the cliffs—an apparent suicide.

Alex Aaro should have known better than to get embroiled in the McCloud crowd’s wild adventures. He knew damn well it was a surefire way to get his life blown all to hell.

Never let down your guard…

Alex Aaro keeps the world at arm’s length. It’s the only way to protect himself from the Arbatovs, his dangerous Mafiya family. He ran away when he was sixteen, but when he learns that his Aunt Tonya, the only family member he ever trusted, is dying, he has to see her one last time. Things are tough enough without his friend Bruno Ranieri calling, demanding that he help some woman friend of Bruno’s wife who’s gotten her sorry ass into trouble. Being in Brooklyn already, he happens to be closest, lucky him. Aaro didn’t expect her to be so damn pretty. But he’s not surprised by the violence that engulfs them as soon as he finds her. That’s just how life goes for him.
