Bruce is doing for Cambridge what Colin Dexter did for Oxford with Inspector Morse Daily Mail

A fresh start in a place you hate. Even tougher with a killer watching...

Jane Osborne left Cambridge and vowed she d never return. An unexpected twist of fortune results in DC Goodhew bringing her back to the remnants of her old life and a confrontation with the man who killed her sister.

Meanwhile a burning car on the outskirts of Cambridge leads to the discovery of the body of its owner, Paul Marshall. There seems nothing to connect it to either a recent assault, or to Jane Osborne, until a shocking discovery rips Goodhew s investigation apart.
