´Indelible is a salutary reminder that Slaughter is one of the most riveting
writers in the field today´ - Sunday Express. When medical examiner Sara
Linton and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver take a trip away from the small town
of Heartsdale - an escape from all the pressures which complicate their
relationship - it should be a straightforward weekend at the beach. But they
decide to take a detour via Jeffrey´s hometown and things go violently wrong
when Jeffrey´s best friend Robert shoots dead an intruder who breaks into his
house. Jeffrey and Sara are first on the scene and Jeffrey´s keen to clear his
friend´s name, but for Sara things aren´t so simple. The sear marks around the
bullet-hole don´t tally with Robert´s story. Robert´s wife, Jessie, is
incoherent and confused. And when it seems that Jeffrey has altered the crime
scene, Sara no longer knows who to trust. Twelve years later, Sara and Jeffrey
are caught up in a shockingly brutal attack which threatens to destroy both
their lives. But they´re not random victims. They´ve been targeted. And it
seems the past is catching up with both of them.
