Sgt Ruth Ellis and her less-than-reliable second in command, PC Eifion Richards, are called to the timber yard to investigate Glyn's torched-out truck, but they soon stumble on a bigger mystery, as Glyn seems to have disappeared into thin air. 

The pressure is all on Sylvia as Ruth calls at the manse to question her about missing Glyn – but guilt-ridden Sylvia hasn't seen her husband since the night of their huge bust-up, and she isn't about to reveal the whole truth to Ruth. 

With a rat in her skull, Ruth decides to pay Lefi a visit – but how much will he reveal about Glyn and Sylvia‘s troubled marriage, and does he have any idea who could have torched Glyn's truck?

Will Sylvia ever forgive Margaret for what she has done? Surely Sylvia will do anything to save her sister from jail? But can they ever get beyond what has happened? And where the bloody hell is Clive? Is he lost on his own journey, trying to un-Clive himself and learn the language of cabbages? 

And what about Lefi? What secrets has Rapado been keeping? Are there ones that might shed some light on Glyn's disappearance? 

Ruth is asking all sorts of tricky questions, and with Haydn creeping about at every turn, Margaret and Sylvia will need Clive back soon. Will the dead Glyn be able to talk any sense into him and send home to Margaret and his old life? And will Glyn's last wish be honoured?
