Suffolk UK, 2012. Knotweed is invasive and ugly—and so is murder in Suffolk. A body is found near the railway line in Needham Market, and Nick Cowley's phone goes missing. Could anyone have guessed the repercussions?

Sleepy Suffolk wakes up to the news that a man has been found hanging in a reclamation yard near Bury St Edmunds. Within days, a bronze statue is stolen, and a broken automaton with a singing bird mechanism arouses suspicion.

It begins with two deaths. The body of a young woman is found, so peaceful she could be sleeping. The other, a ferocious murder beyond the railway lines at Stowmarket. Soon, three apprentice carpenters are catapulted into the dangerous world of illegal hare coursing and drug abuse in the south Suffolk countryside.

Illegal fuel gangs, murder, stray bullets, and a macabre discovery catapult three apprentice carpenters into action as old scores are settled around them. Throw a Vespa scooter, a canary yellow car, a mysterious medallion, and hints of romance into the mix, and you have another witty tale from Pauline Manders. The heady events culminate in a blazing Guy Fawkes evening.
