The fishing boat slipped into Whitby under cover of darkness but the Regional Crime Squad was waiting; after tracing the illegal cargo to Bradford it seemed that Detective Chief Inspector Cardinal's case was all but closed. But Chakundra Lal escaped the net and soon it was a case of murder.
Cardinal is hampered in his investigations by an Urdu-speaking detective constable called Harry Grout, but he decides to use Grout to help trace the fugitive; racial tension arises, an escape from a court hearing follows and the ensuing search ranges from Bradford to Durham and Newcastle, where a woman enters the case. It is Grout who points to the man who killed the Collector ... and Cardinal admits to error.
