Books like Beyond Recall by Robert Goddard

On a bright autumn afternoon in Truro, the Napier family celebrates one couple’s golden wedding anniversary and another's marriage. Yet for Chris Napier, the day turns dark when he sees the ragged specter of former friend Nicky Lanyon, whose family was ruined by the same twist of fate that blessed the Napiers. The next morning, Nicky is found hanging from a tree where the boys once played. The suicide opens a floodgate of doubt and suspicion for Chris: how did the family’s wealth slip from a great‑uncle’s hands after his brutal murder? Are the convicted men truly guilty? And who is the mysterious seductive woman who claims to know the Napiers’ darkest secrets? As crimes of two families are exposed, a series of violent acts shadows him, dragging him into uncharted waters until a killer drops one last disguise for the ultimate act of revenge. Set against the backdrop of Cornwall’s dramatic coast, the novel blends suspense, mystery and family drama in a tightly wound thriller.
