Shortlisted for the World Book Day Prize 2008 A hard-hitting, fast-paced thriller
Fire fighter Jack Bartholomew dies whilst trying to put out a fire in a derelict building. Was it an accident or arson? Marine Artist Adam Greene doesn't know, only that he has lost his closest friend. He attends the funeral ready to mourn when another funeral intrudes upon his thoughts, and one he has tried very hard to forget for the last fifteen years. But before he has time to digest this, or discover the identity of the stranger stalking him, Jack's house is ransacked.
Unaware of the risks he is running Adam soon finds himself caught up in a mysterious and dangerous web of deceit. By exposing a secret that has lain dormant for years Adam is forced to face his own dark secrets, and as the facts reveal themselves the prospects for his survival look bleak. But Adam knows there is no turning back; he has to get to the truth no matter what the cost, even if it means his life.

Book Details
First Sentence
"Prologue If it hadn’t been for the break-in on the day of the funeral I might never have got involved. But that and Jack’s note urging me to take care of his wife, Rosie, obliged me. I had let him down in life; I wasn’t about to let him down in death."
Edition Notes
Read the prologue and listen to the author talking about this novel and her others on her official web site at www.rowmark.co.uk.
'This is a fast-paced and enjoyable book with many twists and turns. Adam's investigation is turning over rocks, and there are surprises under them. The characters are well defined and the plotting is excellent. For the reader who likes an atmospheric novel together with a good mystery, Rowson is one to watch.' Reviewing The Evidence
