Breen discovers that the teenage victim had been having a secret affair with James Fletchet , the son of an affluent local landowner , celebrated for his service in Kenya during the Mau Mau Uprising .

" Breen and Tozer return to London's Criminal Investigation Division , where their questions about Fletchet's past are met with resistance and suspicion . The deeper they probe , the more people they implicate in their investigation . New Scotland Yard doesn't look kindly upon breaking rank , and it's only a matter of time before Breen and Tozer make themselves a target . "
