Die schwelenden Geheimnisse der Vergangenheit holten ihn ein … Archäologe Harold Steadman ist allseits beliebt, unauffällig und vollkommen seiner Forschung verschrieben – umso rätselhafter ist es, als seine Leiche gefunden wird, halb vergraben in den Hochmooren des Swainsdale.

Sein Blick dringt unter die Haut … Er wollte mit seiner Familie den Abgründen Londons entkommen, doch Inspector Alan Banks muss feststellen, dass auch in den idyllischen Yorkshire Dales das Verbrechen lauert. Eine Einbruchsserie sorgt für Unruhen – und ein Spanner versetzt die Frauen der beschaulichen Kleinstadt Eastvale in Angst und Schrecken. Als dann auch noch eine Leiche gefunden wird, stellt sich die Frage, welcher der Täter nun zum Mörder geworden ist – und ob es bei einer Toten bleiben wird.

Als ein friedlicher Protest gegen Atomkraft plötzlich eskaliert, liegt am Ende die Leiche eines Polizisten auf den Pflastersteinen von Eastvale – eiskalt erstochen. Hat Dennis Osmond – Veranstalter der Demo und ausgerechnet liiert mit Polizeipsychologin Jenny Fuller – etwas mit den Ausschreitungen zu tun? Ist die Kommune sozialer Aussteiger, die sich auf einem einsamen Hof in den Dales niedergelassen haben, nicht so pazifistisch, wie sie vorgibt zu sein?
