A gold lighter is found and provides a vital clue to the girl's disappearance. Its inscription reads 'For the girl who lights up my life' but which girl? And where is the body?
The portrayal of the no nonsense copper played by George Baker is so realistic. As usual, this Rendell mystery is well written. It is worth note that this is one of Idris Elba's first acting jobs at least on TV. Not many lines but it is after all Idris Elba.
