DCI Merlin Parry has to use all his skill and experience to crack a murder case where the victim was killed in front of thousands of shoppers, but not a single witness is to be found.
A neurotic, barren wife acquires a baby illegally. Seventeen years on, with her husband now a prosperous Welsh businessman, someone discovers her secret and blackmail begins. A murder follows in Cardiff's vibrant Central Market in front of thousands of shoppers - but, bizarrely, there are no witnesses.
Chief Inspector Merlin Parry, aided as every by Sergeant Gomer Lloyd, tackles a baffling human drama that intrigues right up to the nail-biting denouement, the whole leavened with masterly characterisation and polished wit.
