When DS Ramesh Bandara is asked to head up a homicide investigation in a small New Zealand beachside town, he has no idea he's stumbled onto something much bigger. With little to go on, the investigation is frustratingly slow to get off the ground, but it's Bandara's unconventional colleague, Hilary Stark, who spots similarities with a murder case she worked years before.

Nothing in Stan Andino's regular and uneventful existence has prepared him for the moment he discovers his wife naked, except for a black apron, bleaching the lounge carpet with a sponge. A CT scan one week later explains it: Carmen has a brain tumour. As Stan and his teenage sons grapple with the diagnosis and frightening personality changes in their wife and mother, family friends Austin and Tibbie Lamb do everything possible to assist the Andinos. Then Tibbie's body is discovered at the bottom of Browns Bay cliffs. DS Ramesh Bandara and his partner are assigned to the case.

Greta Jellings blushes and bumbles her way through her carefully ordered existence, forever constrained by what her mother would have said and done. 'No expectation, no disappointment' was one of her mother's mantras and it has served Greta well, too. But it is the death of her dear friend Walter, and his unusual bequest, that finally force her to escape the shackles of her safe life. For Walter has set Greta a challenge that leads her across the world, so far outside her comfort zone that she has no choice but to confront who she really is.
