DI Steph Lewis of West Gloucestershire Police is working two cases. A woman is found dead in the Cathedral grounds. Few, not even her family, mourn her. And a man has gone missing. His wife and colleagues fear for the safety of this perfect gentleman. A witness comes forward to say the cases are linked. A reliable source? Or a fantasist? What could possibly connect the murder of an unpopular woman and the disappearance of a charming man?
