In a quiet market town, a Christmas train derailment reveals the first murder: a wealthy, reserved woman named Margaret Krukowski is stabbed aboard the metro. Detective Vera Stanhope and Joe Ashworth begin a probe that leads them to Margaret’s home on Harbour Street. Their investigation is cut short when a second woman is killed weeks later. As the pair delve into the past, they discover a web of secrets held by residents who are reluctant to speak.
