 From the back cover (Orion 2001 edition):
A beautiful schoolgirl goes Cornish village on the day she has told her boyfriend and sister she is pregnant. The possibility that she has been raped or murdered -- or both - grows with every passing hour, and Chief Superintendent Wycliffe is brought in on the case.
The investigation reveals a complex network of family relationships and rivalries centred on the girl; and then Wycliffe finds a body - but not the one he expects. Have there been two murders? And if so, are they connected?
Wycliffe digs deeper, and soon realises that just beneath the normal, day-to-day surface of the community lies a web of hatred and resentment — a web he will have to untangle if he is to find the key to the mystery ...
Location: "Readers who are acquainted with Cornwall will propbably realise that this story is set in Mevagissey...."
