A long, hot summer in Salisbury is broken by a sudden downpour. Flash floods and burst riverbanks bring something sinister to the surface - a partial human skeleton. When forensic testing matches the bones to a man named Lee Hall, reported missing some 15 years earlier, the case is passed to DI Matt Lockyer. Hall was a known criminal and drug user. It looks like a simple case of accidental overdose, but Lockyer isn't so sure. Lee was a townie, so what was he doing out on the Plain all alone? Lockyer soon discovers that three years before his death, Lee was questioned in relation to another crime - the murder of 23-year-old Holly Gilbert. With the help of DC Gemma Broad, Lockyer begins to dig deeper. And discovers that four other persons of interest in the Holly Gilbert case have also either died or disappeared in the intervening years.
