It’s Cora’s birthday and she’s fed up. It’s been too quiet since she jailed The Graveyard Killer and she’s itching for another mystery to solve. So Cora is thrilled when Becky hires her to dig into a convicted killer’s case.
Darren Duggan’s girlfriend, Stacey, think he’s innocent and wants him released. At Bakerbury Prison, Cora interviews the Darren who, five years ago, was found guilty of murdering his ex-girlfriend Anita. He insists he didn’t do it and points the finger at local weirdo, Roy Gleason. Cora suspects Darren’s telling the truth and her suspicions grow when prison boss, Governor Peacock, warns her off the investigation.
Meanwhile Cora is being followed by a private investigator, PI Burns. The mystery of who hired the PI and why deepens when he crashes her birthday party.
