One man and his bomb

Detective Superintendent Harriet Martens took pride in her twin sons deciding to follow her into the police force by joining the Met. Then, one evening the phone rings and she learns that Graham has been killed by a terrorist bomb and Malcolm is in hospital, gravely injured. Her world falls apart. In the wake of the bomb outrage, every available Greater Birchester Police officer is occupied with anti-terrorist precautions. Harriet finds herself investigating the theft from a Birchester research station of a herbicide specimen capable, in the wrong hands, of causing more destruction than any single bomb. To avoid causing panic she has to work in secrecy, all the while fighting the overwhelming grief of her loss of Graham and her fears for Malcolm.
