When a mysterious photograph is sent anonymously to the Home Office, new doubts emerge, and Detective Sergeant Cribb is called in to uncover the truth. As the investigation deepens, secrets of blackmail, deception, and hidden loyalties begin to surface. If Miriam Cromer is innocent… who is she protecting—and why?
