Four investigations and four sets of secrets someone would kill to keep. In Brussels, Peter May's reporter Neil Bannerman guards a child who saw a killer and cannot recall his face. In London, Jackson Lamb's misfit spies stumble into a wave of terror attacks, chiefly by making everything worse. In Edinburgh, bones with a bullet through the skull drag Karen Pirie back to the Balkan wars. And in a fading Pennsylvania town, Amos Decker, the FBI agent who forgets nothing, sees his holiday end with two bodies in a deserted house.
