It's easy to underestimate the eccentric, quietly spoken Inspector
James Boswell Hodge Leonard, with his bicycle and his tweeds, and
his superiors who make the mistake of doing so soon discover he's
not too keen on toeing the Establishment line. When the grisly
corpse of a traveller is found outside a Roman bath, Leonard's
orders are to clear up the mess with no fuss, but he begins to kick
over Bath's social dustbins and out tumbles decades of secrets and
suspects, not smelling too sweetly... The rich and sadistic
Montague James, controller of people's lives; Hilary, the former
adult film star; Norma, the painter of controversial nudes; they
all know more than they are revealing. Leonard's problem is to find
the one person who knows the truth - before the rest do, and before
the powers that be put the lids back on those dustbins...
