Social butterfly Caroline Bryce causes a scandal in her home village of Treen, when her dead body's dragged from the bottom of the local river. Baffled as to a possible motive for killing the beautiful and personable Ms. Bryce, Wycliffe mulls over several possibilities. Could it have been a lover's qaurrel? Family feud? Or perhaps even the explosion of a long held resentment for the woman?

However, as the detective steadily untangles a spiders web of love and hate, he finds himself up against a psychotic nemesis who feels no remorse, no compassion, and wouldn't think twice about killing again...
