The Night Singer

the long version

"The scars from a family tragedy draw an estranged police detective back to her childhood home as a teenage boy's death quickly causes the past to collide with the present"-- Police detective Hannah Duncker didn't expect to return to her native land. She fled after her father's murder conviction and returned to make peace with her shame. She has a new job with the local police and a nosy new partner. When a fifteen-year-old's death catapults her into a murder investigation that resurrects ghosts from her previous life, she hunts for the truth and must confront the people she abandoned. Not all are pleased to see her back home, and she soon learns that digging through the past comes with consequences. -- adapted from back cover
