A body is found frozen solid in the Tamar.

The victim is Dr Adam Goring - the executive behind the imminent closure of the Tamar Transfusion Centre.

But who killed him, and why was his body frozen before being dumped in the river?

The prime suspect is Jessie Pengellis - the centre manager, who Goring vowed to have sacked and sued for slander after accusing him of corruption on a live national television debate.

But he is now voiceless, dead.

When the police struggle to make progress on the case, the Department for Health Inspector, Tom Jones, is sent in.

However, Jones soon discovers that the centre is a hotbed of treachery and depravity, and that the case is not as simple as it seems...
