Detective Inspector Jacob Murray has returned to work after being shot during an investigation which involved his son. He is rebuilding his life with his wife in Canterbury and his career at Kent Constabulary.

Matthew Compton is a gifted violinist who comes from a wealthy family. So why is he a detective sergeant assigned to D.I. Murray? He’ll tell you it’s to make his family angry, but his reasons are deep than even he knows.

The two detectives work together to solve unusual cases, mostly murder, as they learn to trust each other with both the history and modern setting of Canterbury, England as their crime scenes.
