Read by Gordon Griffin

After 10 years, Guy--a drifter with a taste for deception--has returned
to Coniston in England's Lake District. A local journalist, Tony di
Venuto, is campaigning to revive interest in the disappearance of Emma
Bestwick, and Guy knows what happened to her.

When he tips off the newspaperman that Emma will not be coming home,
DCI Hannah Scarlett, head of Cumbria's Cold Case Review Team, re-opens
the old investigation. Her enquiries take her to the Museum of Myth and
Legend and to the remote and eerie Arsenic Labyrinth--a series of stone
tunnels used to remove arsenic from tin ore.

Meanwhile, historian Daniel Kind is immersing himself in the work of
John Ruskin, whose neighbors created the Arsenic Labyrinth. A shocking
discovery makes it clear to Hannah that there is not one mystery to
solve, but two, and she turns to Daniel for help in untangling the
secrets of the past. As Hannah and Daniel struggle to resist a growing
but dangerous attraction, Guy's plan to make a quick buck runs into
trouble, and he has to resort to desperate measures. Someone is
determined to kill to keep their secrets safe.

Set against the stunning backdrop of the Lake District in winter,
the novel depicts how passionate relationships can lead to obsession
and murder.
