Nina Drayton has told herself that she must have seen her sister Tamara being murdered by the
family babysitter - Josie Jackson. That she doesn't remember it because she was five and
amnesia is a normal trauma response. But now with the anniversary of Tamara's death
approaching and true crime investigators revisiting the case Nina finds it harder to suppress
her doubts. Returning to her family's sparkling villa on the Cote d'Azur for the first time
since the murder she wants to uncover more about the summer that changed so many lives.
Because if she was wrong then she sent an innocent woman to jail - and the real killer is
still walking free. Praise for Katie Bishop and High Season: 'Crime fiction rarely explores
