With modernity raising its ugly head in Yorkshire the grand idea of the Water Board was to flood a local valley to make a reservoir. Of course they had to bulldoze the homes of Dendale the farming town inconveniently situated in that valley first and relocate the families. That was when the children began to disappear. Andy Dalziel was a young detective in those days and he took the case hard. Three little girls were missing in all. No bodies were ever found and the best suspect a strange lad named Benny Lightfoot was held for a time then released. Twelve years later with one of the driest summers on record the ruins of Dendale have begun to reappear in the reservoir. And the child-snatching has started again. Dalziel older wiser and more caustic is determined to get his man this time.
