Fiona Barton's long career as a crime reporter was paving the way for her recent appearance as a thriller writer. And nothing better to start with than hiding behind an alter ego like Kate Waters to tackle her first novel The widow and this second one that returns to take the paths of journalism as a link with that dark side of the chronicles, with what is not counted, with the truth beyond some character limitations imposed by the editorial of any newspaper.

Precisely for this reason, by the brief review of an ominous event in which the appearance of the remains of a newborn is related, the author takes her particular revenge of so many years limited by space and introduces us into the intrahistory, in an investigation frantic in search of a truth barely outlined by the reduced black chronicle, lost among so many other events that obscure the day-to-day life of a big city like London.

Precisely London, with its hazy evocation of Sherlock Holmes or Jack the Ripper. The setting also counts when it comes to outlining a setting that is more in line with the plot ...

And there, in London, the reality of the events is fragmented into a sum of perspectives that point to a discouraging and dangerous reality. The three women who have to do with that dismal discovery that shows the worst of the human being relive with greater intensity if possible their old debt to the past. Only Kate Waters, our third focus on the facts, will provide that aseptic introduction in the past to a truth that pushes from the depths of the being of so many souls that harbor unspeakable secrets.

Only that Kate Waters will once again take her risks in that effort to do justice when justice has already stopped looking for answers. The great secret, the certainty that someone surrounds the facts around those abandoned child bones, will push an all-out defense to keep everything underground, even having to lead the willful Kate to the same premature burial.
