Full publisher description
Emily is living happily in the quaint village of Ashton Mead, where every household is friendly - with one exception.

Unlike the other villagers, Silas Strang and his mother are rude and aggressive. The other residents of Ashton Mead live in fear of upsetting the Strangs. When Silas attacks Emily's beloved dog, she decides it is time to confront the bully. Shortly after she threatens Silas, he is murdered. To Emily's dismay, the police regard her as a suspect. The only way she can prove her innocence is by discovering the real killer and proving their guilt. Assisted by her friends, Hannah and Toby, she sets out to establish the truth, but her enquiries have frightening consequences.

Emily finds her life is in danger as she fights to clear her name.
