Turnbull thinks he has the case solved but while taking his prisoner to jail, by train, the man spots the widow of his old colonel, Hester Prendergast. He pleads with her for help, saying he is innocent. Faced with a request she cannot refuse, Hester embarks on a journey to uncover the truth. Set in 1881, Hester Prendergast travels across England and Scotland to unmask the true killer.
