Clara Vale and her investigative assistant, Bella, go to Northumberland to investigate a bit of blackmail among the upper class. Unfortunately, her parents and brother are going to be there as well. Then comes the murder of a renowned miner followed by several attempted murders and a DI she has had contact with before. Lots of due diligence on everyone's part as the investigation turns into a Gordian knot. Well done!
