An illegal party in a remote Yorkshire house ends in tragedy…

When Thomas Wentworth-Scott is accused of murder, his mother can’t bear to see the family name tarnished. She insists ex-DCI Henry Ward helps her.

A young woman was found dead in a bathtub during an illegal party that Thomas held amid the Covid lockdowns. Unsurprisingly, witnesses are reluctant to come forward.

Indeed no one seems to want to get to the bottom of the matter, not least the police who botched the initial investigation.

Now causing problems where he was meant to solve them, might Henry’s desire for the truth lead him to become a victim himself?
