Ivy Holdman has been married to Malcolm Rivers for just over a month and when their friends call it is obvious that Maureen has been weeping; they have just discovered that her sister is missing. He husband was in the Lake District on a month long seminar and management course and because of the lack of mobile phone connection and damage to the landline he did not realise she had disappeared until he returned home. The police were notified but had no result yet. The sister had been intending to go to a local club for a drink after an argument at work and had not been seen since. The club is suspected of being a brothel and Ivy and Malcolm decide to investigate.
