As the suspects' alibis stack up, Judith, Becks and Suzie are pushed to their limits. Will they be able to solve the puzzling murder of Sir Peter before anyone else gets hurt?
With the police treating Sir Peter's death as an accident and Tanika going rogue against her superior's wishes to support Judith's determination that it was murder, the pressure to unravel the mystery surrounding Sir Peter's death intensifies.
