The English countryside of Midsomer wears a mask of serene beauty, but a grim shadow has fallen over Causton. Detective Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby is wholly absorbed by a brutal sequence of murders targeting young women. Into this climate of fear, a knock sounds at the Barnaby family door. It opens to reveal Cully, standing before you—a friend from afar, now returned to the village after two decades away.
