Swann's Lake, the ideal weekend retreat for Manchester's sprawling workforce, is the setting for brutal murder when Robbie Peterson is found dead in his office, a six-inch nail driven into his skull. Chief Inspector Woodend and Sergeant Rutter are drafted from London and it becomes clear this is a far from straightforward case. Why was the victim's office broken into on the day of the funeral, and why does Robbie's daughter try to claw her sister's eyes out? To add to his problems, Bob Rutter's fiancee, Maria, is badly hurt in a demonstration, and in Maria's injury lies the key to the mystery...
