    "description": "On the floor, amongst the piles of freshly pressed laundry, lay the woman\u2019s lifeless body, her pale yellow nightdress soaked in blood. \u201cI didn\u2019t do it\u2026\u201d came a whisper from the corner of the room.\n\nDetective Katie Scott has never seen two people more in love than her aunt and uncle as they danced on the decking the night of their wedding anniversary party. But the next morning, when Katie finds her aunt\u2019s body sprawled across the floor, that perfect image is shattered forever.\n\nAll fingers point to Katie\u2019s uncle, Pine Valley\u2019s beloved sheriff and protector\u2014after all, his prints are all over the antique knife found at the scene. Grieving, but certain of her uncle\u2019s innocence, Katie is consigned to the cold case division after she\u2019s discovered searching the house for clues. Does someone want to keep her as far away from this investigation as possible?\n\nIgnoring warnings from her team, Katie digs into her uncle\u2019s old case files and discovers photographs of the body of a young girl found tied to a tree after a hike in search of a rare flower. Her body is covered with the same unusual lacerations her aunt suffered. Katie knows it can\u2019t be a coincidence, but every lead she follows takes her to a dead end.\n\nMoments before the sheriff is arrested, Katie realises that a single piece of thread she found at the crime scene could be the missing link that will stitch old crimes to new. But how can she prove her uncle\u2019s innocence without throwing herself directly into the line of fire? She doesn\u2019t have a choice, he\u2019s the only family she has left\u2026",
