The peace of a small West Country village is rudely shattered when a
bomb explodes in the local supermarket. Karen Slocombe, a member of the
Food Chain Group and staunch supporter of local produce, would not
normally care for the loss of a supermarket, but she does take offence
to such violence and that fact that she and her daughter were very
nearly caught up in the explosion.
When, a few days later, Karen witnesses the horrifying murder of an
adjacent stallholder at the local farmer's market, she begins to wonder
just who is committing these seemingly motiveless crimes and why does
she keep finding herself in the middle of the crime scene?
