Now a Collison Investigation Officer Sal's done her best to put the past behind her. But one snowy morning she's called to an accident scene and she recognizes the body - Barry Ford the man her mother left Wulf for all those years ago. It soon becomes clear this wasn't just an accident - it was murder. And Wulf now out of prison lives very close by . . .
