A tense murder investigation at a remote Norfolk boarding school reveals hidden motives and dangerous secrets.

The story begins with the sudden death of Charlie Cavendish, a pupil at Fleat House, a small private boarding school nestled in rural Norfolk. While the headmaster insists it was a tragic accident, local police suspect foul play, prompting the return of Detective Inspector Jazmine 'Jazz' Hunter to lead the case.

Alongside her dependable sergeant, Alastair Miles, she delves into the closed-off world of the school.
