It is that of a pregnant young woman, killed by strangulation.
Upon examining the body, they make a troubling discovery.
Her corpse has been there approximately two years.
Peach is given the case, but along with a cold trail, he must contend with his new sidekick, one DS Blake, as well as Tommy Tucker, his snobbish superior.
From the girls grieving parents to her former flames, everyone seems to know more about this case than they are letting on.
As the suspect list lengthens, Peach realises that the killer might be closer to home than he first thought
