A gripping debut police procedural packed with suspense - and the technicolour energy and wit of Knives Out.

The discovery of a body in the Thames reignites a long-cold case involving a missing executive who vanished with a corporate retirement fund. Simultaneously, Detective Inspector Caius Beauchamp's theater outing is disrupted by another body, linked to the mysterious disappearance of a teenage girl from a boarding school years earlier. As Beauchamp delves into these interconnected investigations, he becomes entangled in the political intrigues surrounding a duke-in-waiting, complicating his pursuit of justice.
