When the body of a young woman, wearing climbing shoes but no
helmet, is found at the foot of a cliff in the Derbyshire gritstone
edges, the emergency services are quick to treat her death as an
accident, the result of a fall from a height onto a bed of rocks
and boulders. The police have bigger fish to fry anyway - a violent
and dangerous offender has escaped from his prison escort on the
way to court and is at large on the Derbyshire moors, starting a
massive manhunt involving scores of officers. That might have been
the end of the story as far as the dead woman was concerned: just
another victim of a hazardous activity. Her husband identifies the
body as his wife. He prepares for the funeral. Her family and work
colleagues grieve. A climbing accident was how Detective Sergeant
Woodman first saw the incident as well. But further information
leads him to question his initial view and he begins to suspect
'foul play'. A murder investigation is launched. The investigation
is far from straightforward. It is hindered by mistakes and
misfortune. There is incompetence, interference by a maverick
officer, and even the inclement winter weather works against the
proper conduct of the enquiry. And those investigating are still
reeling from the events of one of the most notorious and savage
series of murders in English criminal history.
