Roy Grace er kriminaletterforsker og blir kontaktet av sin venn for å finne ut av hvor brudgommen har forsvunnet. Etterhvert som etterforskningen graver dypere kommer det frem hemmeligheter, løgner og drama som kan måle seg med en episode av CSI.

Branson ate his salad, and left the rest of his fish untouched, while Grace tucked into his steak and kidney pudding with relish. 'I read a while ago,' he told Branson, 'that the French drink more red wine than the English but live longer. The Japanese eat more fish than the English, but drink less wine and live longer.
