Two houseboats moored on a stretch of a Yorkshire canal are charred and blackened after a fire. One of the victims on one of the boats is Leslie Whittaker and he is a second-hand bookseller. It is found that he was drugged and then his barge was set on fire.
Next to Whittaker’s boat is another boat that was also set afire but it sank. On this boat is local student Cristina Aspen. She was hit on her head with a blunt object and her body came to the surface.
A unusual angle about the fires is that there is an oil painting on board Whittaker’s boat that may be a very valuable original Turner painting. There is also 25,000 pounds in cash on the boat.
An investigation of Whittaker’s death leads to Jake McMahon, he is a local artist known to have connections with Whittaker. A post mortem shows that Whittaker had been drudged prior to the time of the fire. There was no chance he could escape once the boat was on fire. Cristina Aspen was also drugged before she died. Tensions rise when Banks questions Cristina’s father and his much younger wife. 5* (I really liked this series)
