    "description": "<p>As the sun rises, a young woman &ndash; Samantha Seabrook &ndash; is found drowned in the ornamental fountain of a deserted Cambridge courtyard, the only clue &ndash; an antique silver chain wound tightly around her throat. <br /> <br /> It&rsquo;s Tara Thorpe&rsquo;s job to discover what happened to Miss Seabrook &ndash; but the case becomes personal when she learns that Samantha had been receiving death threats&hellip; rather like the one that landed on Tara&rsquo;s doorstep the night the woman died. <br /> <br /> Together with Detective Inspector Garstin Blake, Tara tracks the killer to the dank and dangerous fens on the outskirts of the city. But there&rsquo;s something Tara can&rsquo;t quite admit to Blake about her past &ndash; and it could make all the difference to whether they live... or die. <br /> <br /> An absolutely gripping page-turner that will keep you hooked until the very last page. The first in a series of unputdownable Cambridge mysteries featuring Thorpe and Blake.</p>",
