Finnie Doyle and Paddy Lamb are leaving city life in Edinburgh behind them and moving to the little town of Simmerton. Paddy;s been made partner at the local law firm, and Finnie has snagged a job as a church deacon. Their rented cottage is quaint, their new colleagues are charming, and they can't believe their luck. But only days after moving into the gatehouse, Finnie begins to have doubts. She keeps hearing strange sounds, and the surrounding trees bring claustrophobia rather than comfort. Then they witness the bloody aftermath of a brutal murder, and that changes everything. They've each been keeping secrets about their pasts. And they both know their precious new start won't survive a scandal. Together, for the best of reasons, they make the worst decision of their lives. That's only the beginning. The deep, deep valley where Simmerton sits is unlike anywhere Finnie and Paddy have been before. They are not the only ones hiding in its shadows and very soon they've lost control of the game they decided to play...
