A dark night, a hit and run accident, a life extinguished. Melissa Fairley - wife, mother and popular headteacher - is killed in inexplicable circumstances. Devastated by their loss, her husband, DCI Gareth Fairley, and her teenage daughter Morgan, find their lives spiralling out of control and apart. Only when a terrifying ordeal throws them together, are they able to attempt to reconstruct their relationship and rebuild their shattered family life.

But questions remain unanswered. Who was the unknown driver who killed Melissa Fairley and callously left her for dead? Will Gareth Fairley ever find peace of mind for as long as he is unable to find his wife’s killer and bring that person to justice? Will Morgan find the strength and resilience she needs to overcome the many challenges she faces following the death of her beloved mother? How will father and daughter cope with the truth when it is finally revealed beneath layers of secrets and lies?

One November Night is a story of love and loss with secrecy and deception at its heart.
