A lump of concrete dropped deliberately from a bridge over an unfrequented road kills the wrong person. The driver behind is spared. But only for a while... The case gets Chief Inspector Wexford wondering about how terrible it would be to discover that one of his daughters had been murdered. Sylvia has always been a cause for concern, living alone with two children, and now pregnant again. The relationship between father and daughter has always been uneasy, but the current situation provokes a division between Wexford and his wife, Dora. And now a member of the press is gunning for the Chief Inspector, distinctly unimpressed by what he regards as old-fashioned policing methods.

Work Description
The twentieth book to feature the classic crime-solving detective, Chief Inspector Wexford. A lump of concrete dropped deliberately from a little stone bridge over a relatively unfrequented road kills the wrong person. The young woman in the car behind is spared. But only for a while...A few weeks later, George Marshalson lives every father's worst nightmare: he discovers the murdered body of his eighteen-year-old daughter on the side of the road. As a man with a strained father-daughter relationship himself, Wexford must struggle to keep his professional life as a detective separate from his personal life as husband and father. Particularly when a second teenage girl is murdered - a victim unquestionably linked to the first - and another family is shattered...
