April 1967. Change is afoot for the Oxford City Police, with Jakes due to leave following a whirlwind romance with an American student and WPC Shirley Trewlove joining the team. Those officers who are not laid low by a spate of stomach upsets are baffled as to what caused a house fire in which artist Simon Hallward dies. Simon had previously been a member of Gideon Finn's hippie commune but left after six months. Meanwhile, At Richardson's supermarket chain falls victim to anti-Apartheid protesters and food contamination as blackmail, the latter causing a customer's death. Then the Richardsons' daughter Verity is kidnapped for six-figure ransom; Morse drops off the money and rescues her, although the kidnapper remains at large. Morse establishes a connection between Richardson's promiscuous wife Annette and Hallward as well as discovering that Verity is keeping secrets from her parents — which leads him to crack the case.
