    The peace of a Midlands village is upset when local businessman Harry Bowers doesn’t return from choir practice. 
     
    More concerned than the man’s own wife, it would seem, investigating officer Detective Sergeant Sunita Roy becomes convinced he has been done away with. 
     
    But there is no trace of the man, just a litany of evidence of an ailing marriage and a nose-diving business venture. 
    In charge of her first serious case, DS Roy will struggle to win the respect of her colleagues – in particular her Brummie boss, DCI Gavin Roscoe. All that whilst fighting off the intentions of an increasingly desperate suitor. 
     
    Who had it in for the budding chorister? And is Roy tough enough to break down the defences and prejudices of Middle England?
