Summary

Family ties. Buried lies. A life on the line.

Detective Sebastian Clifford and his partner Lucinda "Birdie" Bird are about to embark on their most challenging case yet when Lady Angelica Charing tasks them with finding the son she secretly gave away when she was only sixteen.

Time's running out. This long-lost son isn't just a missing puzzle piece; he's the last hope for a life-saving kidney transplant for his dying half-brother. The stakes couldn't be higher.

With the Charing family's reputation on the line, Clifford and Birdie must operate under the radar, cutting through years of concealed truths.

As the deadline approaches, they race to find the missing son and persuade him to make a life-altering choice. Can they solve the case and save a life before time runs out?

Dive into a world of hidden identities and urgent choices in Wake the Past.

Interesting story

I love sally Rigby and this continues the Clifford/Birdie narrative with some surprising twists.
I love how she weaves the narrative of the main characters lives into the case narratives. Can’t wait for the next one!

Just brilliant

I can honestly say I thought I was going to find this book in the series boring but I actually really enjoyed it. The narrator is just perfect for the characters and know how to bring them to life. I really hope this isn't the last book as I enjoyed them all so much.

Love this series.

Like the narrator, expert in accents and voices. Grown to know the main characters and their surrounding back stories, while the new case builds in each episode. Can’t wait for the latest one to become available.

Despite a complex twisting story,

it was a most satisfying listen. Very well read, great characters and an engaging story line.
