When a body is found draped over Swanage’s iconic Globe monument, DCI Lesley Clarke is called in. A message points to the motive: Go Home.
A hate crime? Or something else entirely?
Lesley must find the murderer before they strike again, all while dealing with unrest in her team and political pressure from her boss.
At the same time, a local journalist has been investigating the death of Lesley's predecessor - and claims to have key information.
Will Lesley come out of this case with her reputation, her team, and her career intact? And can she find a killer whose motives are a mystery?
