The body of a vagrant is discovered lying in a ditch outside the town of Dundrum in County Tipperary.Knox,a young Irish policeman with divided loyalties,is told that the landowner Lord Cornwallis wants the case dealt with swiftly and quietly.The potato crop has failed for a second time and the Irish people are dying in their thousands,so who will notice one more death? However,when Knox examines the corpse it is clear that this supposed vagrant was wearing a Savile Row suit . . .
Three months earlier,Detective Inspector Pyke receives a letter from a wealthy industrialist who owns ironworks in Merthyr Tydfil and whose son has been kidnapped.
Lured by the promise of a substantial reward and wanting to escape the tensions of Scotland Yard,Pyke agrees to go to Wales to investigate.There,he discovers a town riven with social discord following the brutal supression of a worker's strike and the importation of cheap Irish labour.
The kidnapping is linked to a group of rebels buy Pyke soon begins to suspect the case is not as clear cut as it seems.
What are the links between the rebellion in Wales and the unrest in Ireland,and has Pyke finally bitten off more than he can chew?
