Detective Superintendent Harriet Martens resolves to resign when a new assistant chief constable makes her feel inferior in her job. However, her thoughts of resignation are abruptly brought to a standstill as pro-hunting politician Robert Roughouse is struck down during one of his vehement speeches at an anti-hunting demonstration. Sensing that someone has deliberately attempted to murder Roughouse, and seeing an opportunity to prove her worth to the ACC. Harriet determinedly takes charge of the investigation.

Immersed in thoughts about what could possibly lie behind the attempted assassination. Harriet goes to interview Roughouse in hospital. However, rather than aiding her inquiry, her visit serves only to confuse things further. Roughouse is not there: he has been suspiciously moved in the night by a group of men to the privately owned Masterton Clinic.

Harriet's effort to see Roughouse at the Masterton is similarly in vain, when she is denied entry. What could lie behind the strange series of events surrounding the Roughouse case? The Hard Detective once again prepares to investigate.
