In this gripping thriller, investigative journalist Aoife McCarthy leaves behind the chaos of London for a quieter life in Bristol, only to find herself entangled in a sinister web of corruption and vengeance. Seeking anonymity after a public breakup with a famous musician, Aoife's plans are derailed when she makes headlines for tackling a child snatcher on the Durdham Downs. Her bravery catches the attention of a group of survivors whose childhoods were shattered by a paedophile ring with ties to powerful businessmen, local authorities, and the police. The survivors, scarred and ignored by the corrupt establishment, are seeking justice-on their own terms. When those who've attempted to report the crimes are found dead or missing, the group orchestrates a chilling plan to expose their abusers. They reach out to Aoife, hoping her investigative skills and media influence can shed light on their stories. Sceptical but determined, Aoife teams up with DI Benedict Cooper, a pragmatic detective who reluctantly becomes drawn in, discovers the corruption runs deeper than either of them could have imagined.
