Synopsis
Flaxborough is a quiet market town in the east of England, prosperous, respectable, and with provincial values. But beneath the surface, passions seethe. When a secret agent disappears in highly suspicious circumstances connected with an acid bath, it is not long before two detectives arrive - Inspector Purbright and Sergeant Love, who have a tough case on their hands.
