Things went bad for Willliam when he chose to move back into his parents' house. He relied on his mother to help him when he had these attacks, the attacks of what we now know as Tourette's Syndrome. He had been living on his own but lost job after job when he spewed offensive language when stressed. His girlfriend finally called it quits... and he reacted badly, irreversibly.

Meanwhile, a well-known feminist speaker dies from poison. There seem to be connections between the two incidents.

Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley investigates. He sends DS Barbara Havers and DS Winston Nkata on various pursuits. Havers is on thin ice these days, because of previous actions. Superintendent X has curtailed her moves, insisting that she not be on her own ever, and has pressured her to look more professional. The pressure from above has taken a lot out of Barbara, to the extent that Lynley worries that she will no longer take leaps of faith and imagination in her investigating. She will no longer be the brilliant detective she can be when freed.

We suffer along with Barbara as the case develops and results in a conclusion that many will not expect.
