Antonia Bell (Ant), a Forensic Scientist, has retired to Exmoor to become a pig farmer and to forget all about crimes, murders and her volatile relationship with Benjamin E. Cox (Bex), her former boss at the MET. He has now gone travelling with his daughter.
As Ant is enjoying life in the countryside with her animals, she receives a distress call, informing her, that two young, local people, she knows, have disappeared.
When their bodies are washed up on the North Devon coast, her friends at Taunton Police HQ ask her once more to help with the investigation.
Little does anybody know that they will get caught up in a most dangerous international web of crimes.
