As the first anniversary of the formation of the Kings Lake murder squad approaches, there is a problem: they've run out of murders.
As a result, they are given the task of reviewing unsolved cold cases, and an unexpected turn brings one investigation back to life, as the team as the team try to discover the identity of the young woman whose body was found in the Norfolk countryside two decades ago. But after so many years, if they don't even know her name, how can they possibly find her killer?
