There’s nothing quite like flies swarming around a dead body to put a damper on a romantic picnic.

When a young man’s body is discovered in a shallow grave in the Forest of Dean, Chief Inspector Cam Fergus and his team with the aid of local resident and retired criminal profiler, Sue Parsons, believe they have narrowed down their search for the murderer. As the search for the assailant is underway another gruesome discovery in the Forest has them re-examining their clues.

Was this a drug deal gone wrong, a crime of passion or a revenge killing? Return again to the sleepy market town of Ross on Wye, as Chief Inspector Cam Fergus finds himself once again investigating a series of murders in the Herefordshire countryside.
