Corinne Woodrow was fifteen when she was convicted of murdering one of her classmates on a summer's evening in 1984, a year when the teenagers of Ernemouth ran wild, dressing in black and staying out all night, listening to music that terrified their parents.
Twenty years later, new forensic evidence suggests Corinne didn't act alone. Private investigator Sean Ward – whose promising career as a detective with the Met was cut short by a teenage gangster with a gun – reopens the case, and discovers a town full of dark secrets, and a community that has always looked after its own.
