Former London detective Jake Jackson—introduced in the acclaimed mystery Death Under a Little Sky—finds his new life in the country threatened by an old case from the past in this absorbing mystery that will challenge readers' detective skills.

In a quiet village, a storm is brewing . . .

Detective Jake Jackson left London for a quiet life in Caelum Parvum. The idyllic country village offers the peace he craves—tending to his chickens, swimming in his lake, and spending long, lazy evenings with his new love, Livia. It's the perfect setting for their relationship to blossom.

Then a case from the past re-emerges, shattering the calm and plunging Jake into the shadowy world of No Taboo—a clandestine group which serves the extravagant whims of Britain's elite. And when Livia accepts a position working for a powerful publishing magnate, suspicions arise about her new employer's connection to the mysterious group.

As unseen forces manipulate those around him, Jake races to expose the deception that threatens his peaceful world. Amid the desolate beauty and seemingly friendly faces of this small, cozy community, Jake must decide who he can really trust . . . or learn just how far No Taboo will go to protect their secrets.

      Narrator Oliver Hembrough vividly describes the journey of ex-detective Jake Jackson from London to an off-the-grid sanctuary. Listeners join Jake as he dives into frigid water, jogs, and makes mouthwatering meals. Despite his hermitic existence, he regularly sees veterinarian Livia and her daughter--both tenderly rendered. The peaceful idyll is disrupted when Jackson helps a local cop search for an amoral group called No Taboo, which promises the wealthy an opportunity to commit a fantasy crime, for example, rape, murder, or pedophilia, without consequences. Hembrough flawlessly segues from a tranquil ambience to savage criminal acts. Jackson's assistant, sarcastic Martha, who is paraplegic, is the stand-out performance. Audio moves the story along, suspensefully conveying the ever-present challenge of whom to trust. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
