Everyday life in Eastvale is shattered when a policeman is stabbed to death after an anti-nuclear demonstration turns violent. Superintendent ‘Dirty Dick’ Burgess, Banks’s nemesis, descends with vengeful fury on those he deems responsible.

Inspector Banks is uneasy about Burgess's mishandling of the case. Despite being warned off, he puts his career in jeopardy to continue his search for the truth – knowing that, if he wants to keep his job, he must beat Burgess to the killer...
