- Banks is called in to investigate the death of a mild-mannered accountant who appears to be the victim of a contract killing.

Banks is not pleased when he meets DCI Burgess,an arrogant colleague at police college. He is investigating possible corruption by MP Martin Fleming. Solicitor Daniel Norcliffe disappears and Burgess believes he may be a link between Fleming and Rothwell in a money laundering fiddle. Then Pamela is savagely attacked.—don @ minifie-1
- DCI Banks and his team investigate the murder of a local accountant, Keith Rothwell, who was killed by an intruder after returning home with his wife from an anniversary dinner. His wife and daughter were tied up but otherwise left unharmed. Initial information indicates Rothwell lived a quiet life but that soon changes when Pamela Jeffries tells the police she knew him as Robert Calvert and that they were lovers. Rothwell was also doing work for lawyer Daniel Norcliffe and DCI Stuart Burgess informs Banks that it may all be tied to his investigation into MP Martin Fleming and a possible money laundering scheme. Norcliffe's office is ransacked and Pamela is attacked in her flat. Meanwhile, DI Helen Morton is trying hard - too hard in fact - to fit in.—garykmcd
