A young woman called Edie Covington is drowned to death when the car she was in is rammed into a pond by another car. Her lover, Joshua Holcombe, goes missing after the murder. With Lynley suspended until the outcome of his disciplinary hearing, Havers is assigned to work on this case under DI Fiona Knight. She and DI Knight get along reasonably well, but Havers risks her new boss's anger by unofficially asking Lynley to do some background detecting.

A young woman called Edie Covington is drowned to death when the car she was in is rammed into a pond by another car. Her lover, Joshua Holcombe, goes missing after the murder. While Lynley awaits his disciplinary hearing, having been suspended for the time being, Havers is assigned to work on this case under DI Fiona Knight. She and DI Knight get along reasonably well, but Havers risks her new boss's anger by unofficially asking Lynley to do some background detecting.

In the meantime, Helen reemerges in Lynley's life, and contemplates rekindling their relationship. With Lynley dreading the outcome of the disciplinary hearing, he tries to busy himself in finding Edie's killer.

DI Knight strongly suspects Edie's partner, Tim Sumner, to be the murderer. Lynley, on the other hand, believes that Edie's death was to do with a land dispute with property developer Owen Harcourt-Baines. It seems a matter of time to Havers before her past and present bosses clash openly.
