When a German businessman is found dead in the sea just off the coast Gently and Bacchus get involved to find the hugger and Bacchus, while having money problems, is put in a dilemma when offered a bribe by a suspect.
Chief Inspector George Gently of Scotland Yard is an old-fashioned policeman who has gained respect but few friends through his single-minded pursuit of law-breakers and his disgust with the corruption in the police force.
Gently decides to retire after the cuddle of his wife, but not before solving his final case. Using his unusual combination of reason, deduction and a somewhat jaded understanding of man's nature, with the ambitious Bacchus by his side, will Gently's justice prevail?
