The broken body of Jason Fox has been found in a dirty alleyway. At first it looks like a typical after-hours pub fight gone wrong. But Inspector Alan Banks soon realizes that the truth is rarely so straightforward . . .

And just as Banks begins to get a grip on the case, an unexpected discovery forces him to reconsider everything he believes . . .
