As NYT bestseller Ann Cleeves's Vera Stanhope series explodes in popularity in print and on TV, this stunning tenth book explores guilt, betrayal, and the secrets people keep.

"Ann Cleeves is one of my favorite mystery writers."--Louise Penny

For fifty years a group of friends have been meeting regularly for reunions on Holy Island, celebrating the school trip where they met, and the friend that they lost to the rising causeway tide five years later. Now, when one of them is found hanged, Vera is called in. Learning that the dead man had recently been fired after misconduct allegations, Vera knows she must discover what the friends are hiding, and whether the events of many years before could have led to murder then, and now . . .

But with the tide rising, secrets long-hidden are finding their way to the surface, and Vera and the team may find themselves in more danger than they could have believed possible . . .

"Who doesn't love "large and shabby" Vera Stanhope, the blunt detective in Ann Cleeves's Northumberland police procedurals? She is already one of the genre immortals." --The New York Times on The Darkest Evening

"Superb . . . This fair-play mystery brims with fully developed suspects and motives that are hidden in plain sight. Skillful misdirection masks the killer's identity. This page-turner is must reading for fans as well as newcomers." --Publishers Weekly (starred) on The Darkest Evening

"Fans will enjoy matching wits with Cleeves' eccentric sleuth right up to the dangerous surprise in her denouement." --Kirkus on The Darkest Evening
