A most haunting melody...
When young Alice Winters is found dead close to a ruined medieval tower just outside the remote village of Friday Street, her boyfriend Jake is charged with murder. That evening the haunting melody is heard, which, according to village tradition, is played whenever there has been a miscarriage of justice.
The case arouses the interest of Peter and Georgia Marsh, the father and daughter team who specialize in cases where the past has reached out to touch the present. And Friday Street was also the scene of a notorious tragedy in 1968, when the famous rock singer Fanny Star returned to the village of her birth only to be murdered.
Had the tune been heard then too? Was her singing partner, Adam Jones, wrongly convicted? Peter and Georgia set out to discover the secrets of Friday Street - but their first obstacle is to break the silence of the village, anxious to protect its own.
