A recently retired English professor discovers a real knack for investigation and cannot help but interfere with the cases assigned to her police detective son.
At a secondary school in Harry’s neighbourhood, a burned-out teacher attempts to interest his class in Wuthering Heights. But class troublemaker, smart, mouthy Fergus shows what a hopeless task the teacher has.
Harry and Fergus have become local celebrities, and the murdered man’s widow approaches asking for help. She doesn’t believe his death was a suicide, and she’s accumulated evidence––her late husband’s body cam, and newspaper clippings announcing cryptic games. But Harry isn’t interested in any more cases. Kayleigh, she tells Fergus, was a one-off. She’s his tutor, not one half of a dynamic duo.
