Synopsis

Early one tranquil morning in Cambridge, a college porter is found murdered in a punt. At first, events point to a solution being found within the college itself, as rampant sexual jealousies are uncovered in the hothouse of a closely knit college society. As the background of the victim is investigated, a second death turns the inquiry in a different direction - towards a violent and secretive world, that of the elite Air Operations Regiment. Bewick uncovers the real reason for the murders, but will he be able to prevent a third?

About this title

Synopsis:

On a still, foggy evening in Cambridge the sharp crack of a pistol shot disrupts the sleepy calm of the university, leaving a porter lying dead. Ex-cop John Bewick is swiftly called in by the college authorities to get this dirty business cleared up with a minimum of fuss. His friend - and rival - Chief Inspector Gio Jones has no such concerns: he's got a murder to solve and ruffing a few feathers is a favoured pastime. But, Bewick and Jones find that the campus is a hotbed of sexual jealousies and petty rivalries. And with the discovery of a second corpse, the investigation turns critical...
