Telling Tales (Vera Stanhope, Band 2)

After years of deadly silence, a killer re-emerges . . .

Ten years after Jeanie Long was charged with the murder of fifteen-year-old Abigail Mantel, residents of the East Yorkshire village of Elvet are disturbed to hear of new evidence proving Jeanie's innocence. Abigail's killer is still at large.

For Emma Bennett, the revelation brings back haunting memories of her vibrant best friend - and of the fearful winter's day when she discovered her body lying cold in a ditch.

As DI Vera Stanhope makes fresh inquiries, villagers are taken back to a time they would rather forget. Inevitably tensions begin to mount, but are people afraid of the killer, or of their own guilty pasts?
