Until the bodies were found . . .\n\nBODIES FOUND UNDER PATIO\n\nWhen pregnant Saffron Cutler moves into 9 Skelton Place with boyfriend Tom and sets about renovations the last thing she expects is builders uncovering a body - two bodies, in fact.\n\nPOLICE INVESTIGATE\n\nForensics indicate the bodies have been buried at least thirty years. Nothing Saffy need worry herself over. Until the police launch a murder investigation and ask to speak to the cottage's former owner - her grandmother, Rose.\n\nOWNER QUESTIONED\n\nRose is in a care home and Alzheimer's means her memory is increasingly confused. She can't help the police but it is clear she remembers something.\n\nA KILLER AT LARGE?\n\nAs Rose's fragmented memories resurface, and the police dig ever deeper, Saffy fears she and the cottage are being watched.\n\nWhat happened thirty years ago?\n\nWhy did no one miss the victims?\n\nWhat part did her grandmother play?\n\nAnd is Saffy now in danger?
