The monthly superintendents' meetings never hold much excitement
for DI Charlie Priest, but this time he is in for a surprise. DCS
Colin Swainby is to resign, quietly and without fuss, because
certain allegations have been made against him. Allegations
involving a woman, and it's not his wife.
When MP Edward Gross finds himself similarly compromised, he also
opts for a quiet exit, but his has a far more permanent outcome.
Priest knows there must be a connection - he has to prove it before
the body count starts escalating.
