About The Family Remains
Early one morning on the foreshore of the River Thames, a bag of bones is discovered. Human bones. DCI Samuel Owusu quickly sends the bag for forensic examination, and the bones are revealed to be those of a young woman, killed by a blow to the head many years ago. Also inside the bag is a trail of clues which leads DCI Owusu to a mansion in Chelsea where, thirty years previously, three people lay dead while a baby upstairs waited for someone to pick her up. Four deaths. An unsolved mystery. A family whose secrets cannot stay buried forever.
