Mystery Police Procedural
Timeless, peaceful, and remote, the watery Lincolnshire fens seem an unlikely setting for murder. But two womenβa notorious actress and servant girlβhave been killed there in the space of two weeks. The Lincolnshire police are sure the murders are connectedβand they think a friend of Richard Jury is responsible. Jury is anxious to clear Jenny Kenningtonβs name. But the secretive suspects and tight-lipped locals are leading him nowhere. And with the help of his colleague Melrose Plant, he must struggle to navigate a series of untruths in the hope of stopping a very determined killer.
