Balford-le-Nez is a dying seaside town on the coast of Essex. When a member of the town's small but growing Asian community is found dead near its beach, with a broken neck, the town ignites. Working alone, without her long-time partner Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley, Sergeant Barbara Havers must investigate not only the mind of a murderer but also a case very close to her own heart—examining the terrible price people pay for deceiving others and themselves.
