Synopsis
A girl's body is found near the site of a rock festival. The only clue for Wexford is her connection to the festival's star.
For a while, the rock festival at "Sunday's" went well. The sun shone, the bands played, and everyone — except a few —- seemed to enjoy themselves.
Then the weather changed. And in a nearby quarry two lovers found a body that made even Inspector Wexford's stomach lurch.
Dawn Stonor had been a local girl, back from London on a flying visit not even her mother could explain. The only clue that Wexford had was her strange connection with the star of the festival.
