Taxi driver Raj Patel picks up a stranger running for the last train on a rain-soaked Friday night. By morning, that man is dead - and Raj is the last person known to have seen him alive. <p/>The dead man was a journalist, eight months into exposing a smuggling operation running straight through the quiet village of Ashton. The officer who's directed traffic at the junction for eighteen years - trusted by everyone, waved through every checkpoint of village life - is not what he seems. <p/>With shopkeeper Sarah Wilson and Peter, a homeless man invisible to Ashton for six years and the only one who ever really watched it, Raj follows a trail someone is willing to kill to keep buried. <p/>Tense, atmospheric, and emotionally charged, The Red Light Secret explores how far people will go when the truth is close enough to touch - but still just out of reach. <p/>Everyone in Ashton thinks they know who to trust. They're about to find out how wrong they are. <p/>For readers of Ann Cleeves and Louise Penny.
