Detective Sergeant Jake Goodwin receives a call to head up the A15 to investigate a suspicious death near Hibaldstow. He discovers 29-year-old Rachel Barnard dead in an old rusty sheep trough. Rachel Barnard is a popular columnist on a local weekly newspaper in Lincolnshire, and her work has been more widely circulated by the owners. Her column is often investigative, pulls no punches, and whilst Rachel is a great supporter of women's rights, she can be critical of the way some of her gender spend their lives. The question is: Who has she investigated and exposed to such an extent that, in the end, murder is their only option?

Detective Sergeant Jake Goodwin had been ushered to a body laid out in a farmer's field of freshly planted cabbages, discovered by the inevitable dog, this time a Collie sheepdog. Laid there before him, a local well-know environmentalist with one arm bandaged from wrist to shoulder, sealed with gaffer tape top and bottom. As if that was not enough, stuck to the bandaged arm in a clear plastic bag with the easily recognizable black and yellow skull and crossbones image were the printed words: Do NOT RemoveON PAIN OF DEATH

Nurse Kelsey Pinhero was hoping her husband's wire animals had sold well when she agreed to meet up with curiosity shop owner Harry Simm on her day off. In Mablethorpe on a cold frosty December Monday morning, Kelsey surprisingly found the shop door unlocked when her knocking went unanswered. She stepped inside to discover nobody about. She did a quick search of the shop and his small flat upstairs. No Harry. Heading for his workshop outside in the yard, she discovered him propped up against a wall dressed only in his underpants. Dead.
