Detective Annie Cabbot is off on maternity leave soon to be replaced by the impossible-to-read Helen Morton.

DCI Banks and Annie Cabbot investigate a murder on a canal boat destroyed in a fire and evidence quickly points to the victim being involved in an art forgery scam. But with a second body discovered, confusion mounts as to who was the intended victim.

The story of Queen Elizabeth II's reign of the United Kingdom, and how it helped to shaped the latter part of the twentieth century.
