Mary Cranson had done the walk many times before, but now had
simply vanished from Dartmoor near the prominent landmark called
Haytor. Her boyfriend raises the alarm when she doesn't meet him as
arranged in the local pub. For the investigating officer, Detective
Inspector Richard King, the intriguing aspect is that many of her
friends knew she would be on the moor as she had told them of her
intentions the previous evening. King and his small team of
detectives begin the arduous task of interviewing the people who
would have known her whereabouts that fateful afternoon. Could she
have been consumed by one of the notorious bogs on the moor or is
the reason for her disappearance something more sinister? The
detectives are also dealing with thefts of vehicles and machinery,
mainly from farms across Dartmoor. These have continued undetected
for over six months and questions are being asked in the local
media about the lack of progress in catching the thieves. The
profile of these cases increases significantly when a theft goes
disastrously wrong. King is also made aware of a barn fire close to
Haytor, but is this connected to the other cases? Pressure is
mounting on the wily detective from the chief constable who wants
progress on both the thefts and the missing woman.
