Murder on the Home Front

After some young women are discovered murdered DI Freddy Wilkins thinks that the obvious suspect is Wilfred Ziegler as a result of the swastikas carved on the victims' tongues. Dr Lennox Collins and Molly Cooper, have their doubts though and use some ground breaking forensic techniques to try and make sure that the correct man is brought to justice.

Lennox soon finds out that he is not only fighting a battle to modernise the way in which crimes are solved, but he's also clashing with a government who will go to any lengths to ensure the country's morale is sustained even if that means covering up a murder.
