Oxford. A city of lost things - and buried crimes.

At three oclock in the morning, Emergency Services receives a call. This is Zara Fanshawe. Always lost and never found. An hour later, the wayward celebritys Rolls Royce Phantom is found abandoned in dingy Becket Street. The paparazzi go wild.

For some reason, news of Zaras disappearance prompts homeless woman Lena Wójcik to search the camps, nervously, for the bad-tempered vagrant known as Waitrose, a familiar sight in Oxford pushing his trolley of possessions. But hes nowhere to be found either.

Who will lead the investigation and cope with the media frenzy? Suave, prize-winning, Oxford-educated DI Ray Wilkins is passed over in favour of his partner, gobby, trailer-park educated DI Ryan Wilkins (no relation). You wouldnt think Ray would be happy. He isnt. You wouldnt think Ryan would be any good at national press presentations. He isnt.

And when legendary cop Chester Lynch takes a shine to Ray - and takes against Ryan - things are only going to get even messier.
