A woman is found dead in Poole Harbour, throwing DCI Lesley Clarke and the team and her squad at the Dorset Major Crimes unit into a complicated case. Initially, the team believe t he victim to be that of a woman recently reported as missing; an open and shut case. But when tests on the body in the harbour reveal it to be a woman who mysteriously vanished fifty years ago after leaving her baby at a Sandbanks hotel, it seems that the squad have a case with multiple riddles to solve. And when the recent missing woman turns out to have been murdered by a professional hitman, it's clear there are dark secrets to unearth. Why would an ordinary woman be the target of a ruthless killer? And what links the recent body with a woman who left everything decades ago - and was the disappearance her own doing? Something dark lies below this Dorset beauty spot and it's up to Lesley and her team to crack the case. Show more
