Tennison grieves over the death of young Yasmina, and blames herself for not saving her. Although the prime suspect is in jail, Jane is certain he is not the actual culprit and certainly, did not act alone. Jane and her photojournalist friend, Robert West, visit Bosnia to find the truth about the sadist she knows is responsible for so much death. Various smug political half-wits attempt to silence Jane and halt her inquiries with the Official Secrets Act. Jane gets a timely pep talk from her dad, who tells her how much he admires her for always doing what she believes is right. Jane soldiers forward, putting her career and possibly, her liberty on the line to keep the promise she made to Yasmina.
