Detective Inspector Horton of Portsmouth CID is assigned the case of a missing person: Jasper Kenton, a private investigator. Tthe formidable Eunice Swallows, Kenton's business partner, seems unwilling to give Horton any useful information, and Horton - irritated at being assigned such a low-ranking investigation - suspects the disappearance has a mundane explanation. Either Kenton is with a woman, or he's stolen from a client and absconded with the money. But when Kenton's car turns up, and a shocking discovery is made, things turn serious. Immediately, Horton finds himself embroiled in an investigation that has major personal ramifications, and one in which he has no choice but to withhold vital information. As he struggles to crack the case, he knows it is only a question of time before someone discovers he's kept silent, and when that's revealed, his part in hindering a major investigation will end his career.
