On a wild and stormy night on England's south coast, ambitious young police constables Rutherford Barnes and Harriet Holden are doing the rounds when they see a burglar fleeing the scene of the crime.

Then a few days later, Harriet's battered body is discovered in a shabby seafront hotel.
Newly promoted to detective, Barnes vows to discover who killed his partner, and why.
