Dalziel and Pascoe investigate the disappearance of a young girl, in similar circumstances to another girl who had disappeared in the same place fifteen years before. The initial suspect at the time of the first investigation was Benny Lightfoot, a local farmhand who himself vanished shortly after the girl's disappearance. And when graffiti in the words of 'Benny's Back' appears close to the site of the recent disappearance, Dalziel suspects that he may be back to strike again. However, all is not as it seems, as the little girl's companion, Tig the dog, leads Wieldy right to her body, buried inside a small cave on Beulah Height. As each and every one of the local's lives come under scrutiny, the discovery of Benny Lightfoot's corpse beneath the remains of a house flooded by a reservoir prove to be the final clue in identifying the killer.

The thirty-year-old murder case of Pamela Westropp is reviewed when the accused, Cissy Kohler, states she was coerced into giving a false confession. Having investigated the original case himself alongside his former boss, Wally, Dalziel is immediately told to stay away from the case, and instead, a high-flying DCC from London, Hiller, is brought in to lead the case. Unhappy with the decision, Dalziel decides to do a little investigating of his own, and manages to obtain papers on the case, which Hiller is looking for. However, he soon realises that Hiller is prepared to stop at nothing when he arrives home to find his house trashed, as if someone was looking for the papers. Meanwhile, as Kohler is released, she is informed that James Westropp, thought dead since 1968, is still alive, and after a little persuasion from an old friend with a grudge, decides to hunt him down to finish him off.

Pub landlord Frank Moon returns after a serious row with his wife Stella the night before, and decides it's time for action – taking his wife, and everybody else inside the pub hostage at gunpoint. As well as all of his regulars, Dalziel also happens to be in the pub at the time, and is forced to keep quiet in order to prevent his cover being blown. As Moon tries to make a run for it with Stella in tow, he is confronted outside by the local bobby, PC Clarke, whom he has no hesitation in shooting. Having hot-tailed it back to where he started, he faces a series of unfortunate events, including: one of his elderly female hostages fainting, old regular Harry dying of natural causes, negotiations with an old war friend resulting in him being shot, and Pascoe being taken hostage too. As Dalziel hatches a plan to get everyone out alive, little did he bargain for a trigger happy police officer pointing his way. Featuring Dennis Waterman as Frank Moon, David Royle as Det Sgt Edgar Wield, Patricia Kerrigan as Stella Moon, Elliot Walton-Frew as Freddie Moon, Lee Ingleby as Kieron Cumming, Vinnie McCabe as Patrick Drury, Walter Sparrow as Harry Barstow, Emma Rydal as Lesley, Rosalind Knight as Brigid Stewart, Joan Campion as Rosemary Grainger, Brian Hibbard as Nye Pritchard, Jo-Anne Stockham as DC Shirley Novello and Malcolm Tierney as Chief Constable Raymond. |
