When Juno Browne buys a second-hand car for her lover, Daniel Thorncroft, the last thing she expects to find is a dead man in the boot. As police hunt for answers and the missing seller, Amber Horrell, Juno's curiosity pulls her into the mystery. In this quiet corner of Devon, Amber's family are notorious, with an unsolved murder and a vanished red diamond in their past, and a decidedly shady antiques business in their present. When a second body surfaces, Juno's amateur sleuthing turns dangerous, blurring reality and fiction, and revealing a far more tangled crime than anyone imagined.
