On returning from the cruise around the Mediterranean where DCI Andy Bardsley's partner Jane Peters, AKA Cindy Lou, a world-renowned Country and Western singer, was hosting the European Country Music Awards onboard a luxury cruise ship. Andy was thrown in at the deep end when several rough sleepers turned up dead all with the same MO. They die with a hypodermic needle holding Carfentanil and Heroin hanging out of their neck. While walking through Piccadilly Gardens Andy thought he recognized a face from the past.

Allegedly agent to the Stars Mr Ray Dickie, who had been killed in Prison the previous year, had left a large amount of money in a bank account, and a lot of people were out to find it. But first, they had to find it!

With all this going Andy's team at the City Police Station have to deal with the loss of DI Beryl Power.

A wanna-be Bad Guy Dave Southerland, moved his Stash House to a Garden Center out in the sticks, not realising who his neighbours were. Unfortunately, he didn't keep his eye on the ball and fell at the Fifteenth Hole.
