Here DCI Banks and his team (sans DS Cabbot, who is on maternity leave) attempt to solve the brutal murder of "unassuming accountant" Keith Rothwell (Dominic Mafham) after he and his wife returned home from a wedding anniversary with his status conscious wife. They return home to find their daughter bound and gagged, and then the murderer blows his head off in the garage.
Or does he?
Here DI Helen Morton (Caroline Catz of Doc Martin fame) attempts to be part of the team, and DCI offers helpful tips such as referring to colleagues as nicknames, joining them at the pub (DI Morton eschews pubs), buying them coffee, joking at the expense of colleagues, etc. DI Morton tries them, but with limited success. Also Morton referring to Banks as Banksy really offended Banks for some reason, even though his good friend refers to him as Banksy.
DI Banksy (I mean Banks) also strikes up a romance with someone who knew the victim, and he wonders whether to follow up the romance.
