Uncovering the Forgotten. The Canterbury Cases (vol. I)

»It wasn't suicide!«

After a failed relationship, Lily Brown, an ex-psychologist for Scotland Yard, sets up her own practice in Canterbury. Her first patients include Samantha Harris, who is trapped in a toxic relationship with an abusive husband, and Vera Osmond, who suffers from panic attacks after a traumatic childhood. Lily thinks Vera’s treatment has been successfully completed – until Vera reaches out to her again. And only a short while later, Vera is found dead – an alleged suicide. Lily doesn’t buy it and begins an investigation of her own. Soon she uncovers a terrible secret and finds herself in mortal danger …
