“What’s the secret?”
Jack looked upstream to the line of barges in the setting sun. On the deck of the Grey Goose he could just see his guests all standing together now, chatting, drinking, laughing.
Music drifted towards them across the water — Van Morrison — one of his all-time favourites.
“I’ve got five rib-eyes back in the fridge that can’t wait to jump on that barbecue. And a half-bottle of thirty-year-old Lagavulin from a new friend that’s been waiting for an occasion just like this to finish.”
“So what are we waiting for?” said Carl.
And Jack put his arm over Carl’s shoulder and the two of them walked back down the riverbank to join the party.

Twenty-five years ago, on a hot summer night, Tim Bell drove to a secluded spot with talented young musician Dinah Taylor after their date at the village fair. But Dinah was never seen again, and Bell — with blood spatters on his clothing — was sent to prison for her murder. Now freed, Bell has returned to Cherringham and his life is in danger from those who feel that justice hasn’t really been served. But Jack and Sarah wonder: was Bell really guilty — or did the real killer escape detection all those years ago? As Cherringham swelters in another hot summer, time is running short for the two of them to uncover the truth … before someone else dies.
