β¦ Synopsis
Meet DCI Lesley Clarke. Sheβs a straight-talking city copper who doesnβt suffer fools gladlyβ¦ and sheβs been transferred to rural Dorset.
After being injured in a bomb attack, Lesley is presented with a choice - early retirement, or a period of respite in a calmer location.
But things donβt stay calm for long.
Before sheβs even started her new job, Lesley is dragged into investigating a murder at one of Englandβs most iconic landmarks, the imposing Corfe Castle.
Lesley must hit the ground running. Can she get along with her new partner DS Dennis Frampton, a traditionalist who doesnβt appreciate her style? How will she navigate the politics of a smaller force where sheβs a bigger, and less welcome, fish? And most importantly, can she solve the murder before the killer strikes again?
