Legacy of Lies
by Jane Adams

A buried laptop. A coded journal. A killer with a debt to collect.

When Naomi Blake and her partner Alec inherit a crumbling house in the Fens, they expect to find some peace and quiet. Instead, they uncover a tangled web of deceit . . . and murder.

Rupert, Alec’s reclusive uncle, left behind more than just a cobweb-ridden home. A buried laptop and cryptic journals hint at a deadly secret he took to the grave.

As Naomi digs deeper, a violent man from Rupert’s past emerges with blood on his hands and revenge on his mind.

With danger mounting, Naomi must decipher the clues hidden in Rupert’s coded journals before the past claims another victim. But in a house filled with secrets, can she survive long enough to expose a legacy built on lies?

This utterly gripping crime mystery is perfect for fans of Ann Cleeves, Tana French and Val McDermid.
