The year is 1966 and a young woman is found cuddled in a coastal village in Northumberland. Gently and Bacchus are called in to help try and solve the case and they find themselves investigating a family with many secrets.
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?
