Soon there's a clear suspect in everyone's sights
- the only thing that's missing is any scrap of evidence As the detectives' disastrous investigation comes unstuck the whole team gets involved in some serious messing about on the river In an adventure that's as twisting as the river upon which it's set will there be anything left of the Peculiar Crimes Unit when it's over?
