When the beautiful wife of a local MP is found brutally murdered in her own home, the entire resources of the Cambridge Constabulary are brought to bear. Leading the investigation is Chief Superintendent Adams, who is determined to further his career by solving this high profile case.

But as her features become clearer, so the awful truth of her life and death slowly come to light, exposing a web of exploitation and corruption that reaches far into Europe exposing the terrible price of war and the men who benefit from it...
