Death of an Innocent

From the very start, the case does not make any kind of sense to Woodend. What possible reason could the two victims, a man and a girl, have for being at an isolated farmhouse very early on Sunday morning? Why did their killer fire both barrels of his shotgun into their faces from close range, when he must seen that they were already dead? And given that the farmer's only vehicle is still in the garage - and the whole area is covered with a thick blanket of snow - how has the man managed to disappear?

The Chief Inspector's problems are only just beginning. Within hours, he finds himself suspended from the force, and facing trumped-up criminal charges. Undeterred, Woodend ploughs on with the investigation alone. But can he unmask the murderer before he himself is sent to prison?
