Dreaming of the Bones

Superintendent Duncan Kincaid's world is unexpectedly upended when his ex-wife, Victoria, re-enters his life after more than a decade, not for personal reasons, but with a haunting plea. She insists that the five-year-old suicide of troubled local poet Lydia Brooke was, in fact, murder, and urges Kincaid to investigate. Despite the official closure of the case and his initial reluctance, Kincaid agrees to delve into the past, much to the surprise of his partner and lover, Sergeant Gemma James. What begins as a favor soon escalates into a chilling and complex investigation when a second, undeniably brutal murder occurs, raising the stakes dramatically. Kincaid and James find themselves plunged into a labyrinth of dark lies and lethal secrets, uncovering a conspiracy that stretches back through the twentieth century and promises to irrevocably alter Duncan Kincaid's life as they seek to unearth the truth buried deep within the bones of the past.
