The revamped Connection Investigation Agency team takes on a decades-old crime in this thriller from the bestselling author of Murder Unjoyful. The Connection Investigation Agency has seen big changes. New partners, Tessa, Luke, and Beth, have taken over and members of the old team have moved on to pastures new. On the first day of reopening, a body is discovered in the outhouse at the back of the office and their first case begins with bones that have lain undiscovered for twenty-five years. Can Luke take on his first solo case and solve it? Will Tessa prove to be as good an investigator as she was a DI? Will she solve the mystery of the threatening notes sent to two women, who become murder victims? As the agency digs deeper into the past and a link between the two cases is revealed, will this help or hinder?
