Old sins refuse to stay buried! Four novels where the past will not stay past. In each, a crime buried years or decades earlier begins to resurface, pulling the present into its wake. The tension lies not only in what happened, but in whether the people who find out will survive knowing.
Peter James, Dead Man's Footsteps - Wilson vanished on 9/11. His remains surface years later and Roy Grace follows the trail.
Ian Rankin, The Hanging Garden - Edinburgh gangs and a suspected war criminal find Rebus forced to choose between justice and his conscience.
Harlan Coben, Tell No One - His wife was murdered eight years ago. Now Beck has received an email from her.
Peter May, Blowback - Enzo Macleod reopens the case of a chef murdered seven years ago, and pays for it.
