Ramsay Keiller is found shot dead and Jill Fortune has disappeared. Was Keiller still working for the government, even in retirement-or was he working against it? Was piano teacher Jill simply in the wrong place at the wrong time? Fifty years after his blues band made the Top Forty, Dan Swann is still causing ripples-but not with his music. He has a message for the world, but the world isn't listening. DI Jeff Lincoln needs to fit the pieces of this puzzle together, but he's in a different police station, with a team he doesn't know, and a member of his own team's in trouble. Can he solve this case before it's too late? A story of revenge and conspiracy, regret and retribution, against the backdrop of Salisbury Plain. This is the fifth book in the series featuring DI Jeff Lincoln.
