What goes around comes around on the carousel of time. Every summer four friends gather at Barnes Fair to ride the carousel in memory of Esther, the school friend they lost in a car crash they were all involved in as teenagers.This year, the morning after the fair, one of those friends, Shelley Gregory, is found murdered on that very carousel. DI Garibaldi has questions to ask. Who killed Shelley, and why there?

As Garibaldi pieces together the events of that summer night, he uncovers dark undercurrents beneath Barness genteel surface and begins to see the truth: what goes around comes around when you ride the carousel of time.
