When a corpse is discovered in an Afro-Caribbean neighbourhood, the controversial subject of racism in the police force rears its head. DCI Jane Tennison is called in to head a sensitive enquiry into how the corpse came to lie in its burial place.
While DCI Tennison and her team track down their prime suspect, David Harvey; her colleague, DCI Oswalde, pursues a young black man, whom he believes is responsible for the murder of the girl.
When David Harvey confesses to the murder of Joanne Fagunwa on his death bed, police enquiries are suppressed; and Jane Tennison faces problems as her personal and professional worlds collide.
As DCI Tennison closes in on the killer, the inquest court's verdict of suicide on Tony Allen increases the pressure on her and her team.
