When a body is found near Beachy Head, the police chalk it up to suicide - a tragic but not uncommon end in these parts.But local psychotherapist Patricia Phillips isn't convinced.The victim? Her three o'clock patient, Henry Clayton.The cause of death is supposedly self-inflicted. Yet Pat can't shake the belief that someone wanted Henry Clayton dead. She spends her working life listening to histories and secrets, and she has a nose for when a story doesn't quite ring true.Drawn from the therapy room to the crime scene, Pat begins to notice what others appear to overlook.At her side is her best friend Prichard - a home-brewer of fearsome, stomach-turning concoctions, an excellent cook, and a man who seems to get along with everyone. Which makes him useful for infiltrating village life.As Pat and Prichard look beneath the village's thin veneer of normality - one that barely conceals its appetites - they discover a killer hiding in plain sight.
