Synopsis

Alford, December 2009. A week after she asked the community council a mild question about the war memorial fund's old passbooks, the parish session clerk falls on the iced kirk brae and dies. The village files it by dinnertime: black ice, an old woman, a winter.
The man who found her, who took charge, who gritted the brae himself at first light before the council lorries were out, is the man the glen has called simply the Sergeant for forty years. British Empire Medal, retired resident officer, chairman of everything, the man who taught half the north-east how to knock a door.
Including, in 1971, a probationer called Jean Sangster.
DI Sangster is four months from her retiral and has spent a career quietly unlearning the other half of what her first teacher taught her, and has never once said his name while doing it. DS Cormac Buchan has the layers of a brae, a watering can that somebody dried, and the sinking certainty that every fact in this case is one the suspect already wears as a virtue.
The fifth and hardest of the Early Years mysteries: what the county's method costs when it fails, and who pays.
