Roberta Teys is found beside her father's headless corpse, wearing her best dress and with an axe in her lap.

"I did it. And I am not sorry." She refuses to say more.

Inspector Thomas Lynley and DS Barbara Havers are sent by Scotland Yard to investigate.

But as they navigate their way around a dark labyrinth of secret scandals and appalling crimes, they uncover a series of shocking revelations that shatter the façade of the peaceful Yorkshire village.
