Just as the bidding gets exciting in a Bath auction house, three
armed men stage a hold-up and attempt to steal Lot 129, a medieval
carving of the Wife of Bath. The highest bidder, appalled to have
the prize snatched away, tries to stop them and is shot dead. Peter
Diamond, head of the murder squad, soon finds himself sharing an
office with the stone wife - until he is ejected. To his extreme
annoyance the lump of stone appears to exert a malign influence
over him and his investigation. Refusing to be beaten, he rallies
his team and begins finding suspects and motives. The case demands
that someone goes undercover. The dangerous mission falls to
Sergeant Ingeborg Smith, reverting to her journalist persona to get
the confidence of a wealthy local criminal through his pop star
girlfriend. And soon, murder makes a reappearance ...
