A case requiring all his investigative skills to solve, almost defeats Nostrils.

When the wife of a wealthy hedge fund manager goes missing while on holiday in Madeira, DS Pritchard is asked to liaise with the Portuguese authorities. Suspicion falls upon the husband, Mr Tristram Parker, who is believed to have arranged her murder. DS Pritchard’s own enquiries reveal financial malpractices at Mr Parker’s hedge fund on an unprecedented scale, but he struggles to link these startling discoveries to Mrs Parker’s disappearance.

Meanwhile, a curious combination of circumstances combine to present DS Pritchard with an opportunity to seek revenge on his most hated adversary.
