It is just after Christmas and DI Charlie Priest has a rape to investigate that occurred on Christmas Eve. He doesn't have a large crew to work with because many of the police are investigating the murder of a local doctor. The murder investigation is not Priest's, but circumstances lead to it being turned over to him.
Priest and his team pull in the murder suspect, but before long come to realise that he couldn't have done it. Meantime they continue to search for the rapist. The name of the suspect is discovered, and Priest finds out from a colleague in a different jurisdiction that the suspect has changed his name. He also finds out that the suspect had committed five other rapes and gotten away with them because of a smart solicitor.
Author Stuart Pawson provides the reader with some interesting detective work as Priest and his team put together evidence in both cases. A good quick read.
