The Last Time She Died - Sharp, Zoë

. .

Résumé :
The sun is shining as the Fitzroy family gather to mourn the death of their beloved husband and stepfather. No one but Byron sees the young woman with the white-blonde hair hiding in the shadows. She watches them for a moment, then she is gone. While the family is at the funeral, the woman breaks into their home. She waits for them to come home, for the police to be called. When she is arrested, she smiles calmly at the outraged people around her and says she has every right to be there. She is Blake Claremont, the late Mr Fitzroy's daughter. But Blake vanished ten years ago. She is presumed dead. Detective John Byron is currently on leave, but he has been asked by his old force to take a quiet look into Fitzroy's death. While he's there, he can't help investigating the mysterious new arrival too. She certainly seems to know things that an outsider could not, and the family welcome her back into her home. Not long after, someone shoots at her on a quiet rural road... Because whatever secrets the woman is keeping, certain people do not want them revealed. And those same people are sure Blake isn't who she claims to be... because they killed and buried her the night she disappeared. Didn't they?
