Police sergeant Grace Narayan is sent on a 'punishment posting' to the small, antiquated island of St. Jory, where she discovers the forgotten cold case of missing teenage boy Cai.
After the body is discovered, Grace is convinced something sinister is at play - but mainland police disagree. Was Cai's death accidental or is there a murderer loose on St. Jory?
The Widow's Wail - a mighty annual storm - brings the islanders to the village hall for fun and refuge. Trapped inside, Grace is on edge - could Cai's murderer be among them?
The word is out - the True Way were involved in Cai's death. As the island reels, an obvious suspect emerges, but are Grace's theories about to be turned on their head?
With Cai's killer caught, the True Way takes control of St. Jory, threatening their own form of violent justice. Can Grace restore order or will she fall victim to the chaos?
