Overview

When Callum Lorimer, the eldest son of ""Lorimer Fruits"", an old established family firm, receives a letter from his brother Alan, telling him he was cutting short his overseas contract in Zambia and returning home, it effectively acted as a catalyst. Within hours of Callum reading the letter, John Milne employed by the firm, was brutally killed. While the people of Calder Bay were still reeling from the shock of yet another murder in their midst, news reached the Lorimer family of a break-in at Alan's bungalow; there was clear evidence of a struggle but no sign of Alan. It was inevitable that the media would start connecting the two incidents; although thousands of miles apart, the fact that the Lorimer family was somehow implicated was all they needed to pique their interest, only to be thwarted by the police's evasiveness to confirm. Beverly Grant, an investigative journalist and a familiar figure in Calder Bay, determined to do her own sleuthing, believes there is a big story waiting to be told and one which could give her the scoop she wanted. Initial enquiries, led by DCI Alistair Dale and his team in Calder Bay, were scarcely underway when they were interrupted by Adrian Roberts of Interpol, advising them that the murder of an employee of ""Lorimer Fruits"" had alerted them to Callum Lorimer who was known to be friendly with the man in control of a drug smuggling syndicate currently under surveillance by their drug trafficking unit, and that they believed Alan Lorimer may have been a victim. A subsequent occurrence further complicates the proceedings when a neighbour of Alan Lorimer out in Zambia is murdered. An unrelated incident as far as Interpol is concerned, but when it is revealed that another member of the Lorimer family is a prime suspect, there is now a genuine fear that the escalating scandal will destroy the formerly unblemished reputation of ""Lorimer Fruits"".
