Murder doesn't care if you're a newlywed.

Detective Chief Inspector Robin Bright and Deputy Headteacher Adam Matthews have just tied the knot, and all they want to do is sink into blissful domesticity. Unfortunately, there's no chance of that when a chilling murder at a rugby ground takes Robin miles away to help his old boss solve it.

The mystery seems impossible to crack. Everyone with a motive has an alibi, and those without alibis don't have a motive. Robin's determined that this won't be the case he's unable to unravel. Not when he's got his old boss to impress and a new team to lick into shape.

Back at home, Adam joins a fundraising choir to keep himself occupied. Surely a case that's so far away won't draw him in this time? Fate has other ideas, though, and danger turns up?quite literally?on his doorstep. He'll need Campbell the Newfoundland for both company and protection this time around.
