He approaches the body tucks a book into the mans pocket and leaves.When the Scottish police show Inspector Domenic Jejeune the book a bird guide bearing his name he can truthfully say he that he has no idea how it came to be in the dead mans pocket. What he does not tell them is that he recognizes the book instantly. So while puzzled he is not entirely surprised when his brother Damian emerges from his fugitive existence to reveal that the dead man is a notorious taker  a poacher of live wild falcons.The case gets personal in a way Jejeune has never experienced before. He is acutely aware that with each passing day rare birds are being illegally taken from the wild. And hovering over his every move is the threat that if he gets this one wrong no one in the North Norfolk Constabulary will escape the wrath of the nations highest-placed officials.
