    Soon after the police break up an anti-GM crops demo on a Cotswold farm, a man is found savagely murdered in circumstances chillingly reminiscent of the infamous, unsolved Meon Hill murder of 1945. Ex-policeman Latymer's professional curiosity is piqued by the similarities between the two cases, and he calls upon his old friend and colleague Keith Berry to help him with his research.
