So when another resident of the Rosemary House care home is found dead in her chair one Saturday evening in December, no-one is very surprised - not until the results of a routine post-mortem reveal something extraordinary.
Police Sergeant DC Smith and his team have to tread carefully as they investigate what took place, and Smith himself has to confront some difficult memories.
