The brutal murder of a woman appears to be an open and shut case. The prime suspect has signed a confession. Yet the absence of a credible motive still nags at the Crown Prosecutor, Helen West, and Superintendant Geoffrey Bailey. Their investigations lead them to discover that there is more to the case than meets the eye.
