Someone is breaking into homes on The Hill, Cheshire's most coveted address where luxury and exclusivity promise perfect safety. DS Leo Brady investigates the string of break-ins, sensing the intruder seeks something specific rather than random valuables. Across the Welsh border, DC Ffion Morgan pulls an estate agent's body from a lake. Ffion has little sympathy for estate agents, but murder crosses every line. As the cases converge, Brady and Morgan realize the crimes connect in ways neither expected. The residents of The Hill guard their secrets carefully, but someone knows too much. When privacy becomes a matter of life and death, both detectives must decide how far people will go to protect what they've built. The investigation forces them into a world where appearances deceive and neighbors hide dangerous truths. Money can buy many things, but it cannot silence everyone forever.
