From the book back:
A by-pass is planned in Kingsmarkham that will destroy its peace and natural habitat for ever. Dora Wexford joins the protest, but the Chief Inspector must be more circumspect; trouble is expected.

As the protesters begin to make their presence felt, a young woman's badly decomposed body is unearthed. Burden believes he knows the murderer's identity but Wexford is not convinced. Furthermore, having just become a grandfather, he is struggling to put aside his familial responsibilities and emotions in order to do his job.

The case progresses, and the protest excalates. And alarmingly, a number of people begin to disappear, including Dora Wexford...


'One of the greatest novelists presently at work in our language... a writer whose work should by read by anyone who either enjoys a brilliant mystery - or distinguished literature'
