Publisher's Synopsis
Gina Wolfe has come to Mid-Yorkshire in search of her missing husband, believed dead. Her fiance, Commander Mick Purdy of the Met, thinks Dalziel should take care of the job. What none of them realize is how events set in motion decades ago will come to a violent head on this otherwise ordinary autumn day. A Welsh tabloid journalist senses the story he's been chasing for years may have finally landed in his lap. A Tory MP's assistant suspects her boss's father has an unsavoury history that could taint his prime ministerial ambitions. The ruthless entrepreneur in question sends out two henchmen to make sure the past stays in the past. And the lethal pair dispatched have awkward secrets of their own.
