Looking back, Nick Leary couldn’t say exactly what kept him awake that night. It might’ve been the oppresive heat, or the distant rumble of thunder.

A by-pass is planned in Kingsmarkham – that will destroy its peace and the natural habitat forever. Dora Wexford joins the protest movement, but Wexford must be more circumspect. Trouble is expected.

A notorious paedophile is released back into the community. The residents if the Muriel Campden Estate are up in arms, and even prepared to take the law into their own hands…
Chief Inspector Wexford is not only concerned very personally with the effects of violence and prejudice, but is involved with a new programme to help victims of domestic violence. And his daughter, Sylvia, has come to work nearby in a refuge for battered women. Her marriage is also in difficulties, although her husband has never raised a hand to her. They are merely incompatible.

Bessie Alexander knew she was a disgrace. How could she allow thoughts of Gregory Seymour to intrude upon her prayers? But prayer time was the only peace she got and Gregory was the one bright light on her horizon.
Bessie’s daughter, Daisy, kept as far away from her mother as she could, preferring to spend her time with her friend Jennifer and Jennifer’s grandmother, Sophie McPherson. And Jennifer has good reason to stay away from her own mother too. They’d never been close and Adrina’s latest boyfriend was worse than all the rest.
When family tensions spill over into violence, Jennifer runs away to London to begin a new life. But eventually the past reclaims its hold on Jennifer and binds her to Bessie in a way neither of them could have foreseen.
