The wind is cold this high up. The man shouts out, but nobody hears.
The cathedral roof has caught his fall, but it will not hold him for long. The night is dark. And it is such a long way down...
With Easter approaching, the verger of St Albans cathedral was supposed to be preparing the holiday service. Instead he discovers a man lying dead, fallen from the famous fifty-foot high tower. Did he jump, or was he pushed?
For DCI Maarten Jansen, it's a simple case of suspected suicide.
Until a stranger, Willow, who witnessed the jump, prompts a deeper investigation into a long-buried past, involving a psychiatric hospital, a pregnant woman, and fifty years of silence. As Willow's own family history entwines with the case, Jansen starts to wonder how everything is connected.
