The Welsh Borders in the 1950s Salmon and trout aren't the only species under threat in this tale of love, hate, murder - and fly fishing.When a local boy is found drowned in the River Tossy, most people assume it's an accident - and few tears are shed for a uniquely nasty individual.But Meg Marsden and her husband Andy, come recently to the riverbank village of Coedafon for the fishing, gradually realise that there are equally unpleasant people still alive - and one or more is a murderer. Peaceful though the village may be on the surface, it's only a matter of time before other bodies are dragged from the river.In the face of police indifference, Meg, narrowly surviving several vicious attempts on her life, finally unearths the horrifying truth - so life returns to normal. Or does it?
