Clues are difficult to come by in the murder of Lynn Barron but the police now have another worry on their hands when DC Parvez Lateef, who had continued searching the caves where the dead woman was found, goes missing. Dental records show that the original suspect, Eddie Summers, didn't die years ago as believed and according the dead woman's sister, Lynn was about to take her children from her ex-husband and move in with him. DNA evidence also shows that her daughter was fathered by her lover, not the supposed father who is now the Chief Constable. When someone confesses to the murder, Dalziel and Pascoe remain unconvinced and push on with the investigation.
