And as well as playing a leading role in the investigation, Saxby's colleague, DI Dave Petrie. is forced to grapple with momentous upheavals in his personal life. He has at long last found a life partner, but is fearful that he will soon lose her to forces beyond his control.

As the investigation gathers momentum it is in danger of careering out of control, and everyone involved is force to re-think their theories in order to avoid a loss of life and condemn the innocent.
