DCI Monika Paniatowski investigates a case that could be the making or, more likely, breaking of her career DCI Monika Paniatowski has only been back from maternity leave for three days when she is called in to investigate a nightmare of a case. Not only is the murder victim a mother of three small children, but her husband is a wealthy politician. Monika knows that if she cant make a quick arrest her career is on the line. Its lucky, then, that within minutes of meeting Councillor Danbury, she has a bruised face and a prime suspect. But then the case takes a nasty twist, and suddenly the investigation is national news. Monikas sure she has the right man but how to prove it? Particularly when shes under pressure from her superiors to arrest anyone other than Councillor Danbury, president of the golf club and friend of her chief constable .
