When forensic testing matches the bones to a man named Lee Hall, reported missing some fifteen years earlier, the case is passed to DI Matt Lockyer.

It looks like a simple case of accidental death, but Lockyer isn't so sure. Lee was a townie, so what was he doing out on the Plain all alone Lockyer soon discovers that three years before his death, Lee was questioned in relation to another crime - the murder of twenty-three-year-old Holly Gilbert.
