After the brutal murder of a woman appears to be an open and shut case, Crown Prosecutor Helen West and Superintendent Geoffrey Bailey are perplexed by a lack of motive for the killing.
Their investigation leads them to realise there is far more to this particular crime than meets the eye.
This one-off drama was based on the 1988 novel by Frances Fyfield. A short season of Helen West dramas was broadcast on ITV in 2002.moreless
