North of England. Cumbria. Salome Delaney didn't have a great start in life. But her abusive childhood came to a tragic conclusion with the killing of her tyrant mother Trina by a jealous ex-boyfriend. At least that's what the police say. Sal has never believed kind Wulf who tried to protect her from her mother's dark side could have committed such a crime but the evidence was irrefutable . . . and who else could have done it? Now a Collison Investigation Officer Sal's done her best to put the past behind her. But one snowy morning she's called to an accident scene and she recognizes the body - Barry Ford the man her mother left Wulf for all those years ago. It soon becomes clear this wasn't just an accident - it was murder. And Wulf now out of prison lives very close by . . .
