With no memory of that night, she believes she has killed him, especially when she discovers the remains of a body buried in the byre.
But the past won’t stay buried, and fourteen years after that fateful night, Chrissie is forced to confront the nightmare that has overshadowed her life.
With the arrival of a letter, she discovers that nothing is as it seems. A series of events over which she has no control are set in motion. Lies and secrets are uncovered, leading to a dramatic and tragic climax.
Set partly in the Orkney Islands and partly in the notorious Hell’s Kitchen, New York, ‘Broken Horizons’ is the sequel to ‘Follow the Dove.’
