Rendell's in-depth characterizations illuminate this serious social problem as Wexford investigates three kidnappings, one murder, and a recently paroled pedophile.

The discovery of skeletal remains by a truffle hunting dog draws Inspector Wexford into a difficult missing person investigation. When his assistant Mike Burden discovers another body in the basement of the deserted cottage on the property they must find the link between the two cases. A subplot involving genital mutilation among the immigrant Somali population of Kingsmarkham keeps this long-running series current.
