When Gently discovers the victim’s wife has already been convicted of his murder, eight years ago, he controversially decides to re-open the case. But DI Bacchus opposes Gently’s decision - not least because he worked as a DS on the original investigation, putting mentor and protégé at complete odds. Is Gently about to expose an appalling miscarriage of justice or will he sacrifice his reputation and legacy for a convicted murderer? Can Rachel help heal the widening rift between her superiors whilst navigating being a woman in a male policing world? And will the team finally prove beyond doubt the identity of the killer?
