- DI Lewis and DS Hathaway investigate the death of Marina Hartner, an attractive young woman from the Czech Republic who was killed when someone broke a mirror over her head, slicing open her jugular. Lewis doubts it was a random attack and the victim left the name of what appears to be an Iraqi town written in her own blood. The mirror was taken from the office of Professor Hamid Jassim, who reports theft the following morning. She worked in a pub but was brought to the UK by an Oxford professor, Norman Deering and was having a sexual relationship with him and others. Lewis soon realizes however that he's made an incorrect assumption that changes the nature of the case entirely.—garykmcd
