When a young girl is found strangled in a pillbox (military
blockhouse) on the edge of an isolated village, it looks like a
tragic but uncomplicated sex crime--especially as Jed, the local
boy with whom she was last seen, has disappeared. But when Jed's
blood-soaked jacket is found in another pillbox further along the
river bank, it becomes clear that the case is more complicated.
Chief Inspector Dalliance and DS Riley set about untangling a skein
of leads, and in the process discover that the respectability of an
idyllic English village conceals dark undercurrents. An exclusive
swingers' club includes members of the political elite, while the
younger generation seems hell-bent on a nihilistic exploration of
sexual boundaries. In the meantime, as the community prepares for
its annual Morris Dancing festival, another body is found. The
page-turning plot reaches a dramatic climax with the prime suspect
leading Dalliance and Riley a merry dance through village streets
thronged with handkerchief-waving, stave-wielding Morris men.
