  When eighteen-year-old Alice Winters is found murdered near a ruined medieval tower just outside the remote village of Friday Street on the Kentish downs, her boyfriend Jake is charged. That evening the haunting melody of the Friday Street tune is heard which, according to village tradition, is played whenever there has been a miscarriage of justice. The case arouses the interest of Peter and Georgia Marsh, the father and daughter team who specialise in cases where the past has reached out to touch the present. And Friday Street had been the scene of a notorious murder in 1968, when the famous rock singer Fanny Star returned to the village of her birth only to be murdered. Adam Jones, her singing partner, was convicted of the murder. Had the tune been heard then too? Had Adam been wrongly convicted? Peter and Georgia set out to discover the secrets held by the apparently peaceful village - but their first obstacle is to break the silence kept by Friday Street, anxious to protect its own.
