This is the second book in the DCI Tom Douglas series.
Tom Douglas has recently moved to the village of Little Melham. One night a teenage girl is involved in an accident on a back road which is only used by the locals. She has been hit by a car and then dragged to the side of the road before being left. Luckily she is found in time and is in intensive care, in a coma, in the hospital.
Ellie Saunders, Tom's neighbour, had gone out that night. Her sister Leo, who had come to visit, had heard Ellie leave the house. Max, Ellie's husband, had been out with colleagues and friends at a party held at the local rugby club. He was driven home late by a colleague. There are a number of the locals who seem to have been out that night, they all have secrets to keep.
Ellie starts to get messages and phone calls from a blackmailer. Someone knows she was out and threatens to tell her husband she has been seeing another man. The other man is also watching her, following her every move and won't accept that she does not want to see him.
