When crime reporter Jimm Juree is forced to quit the city for a fishing village on the Gulf of Siam, she expects much in her life to change. Quiet will replace quick, and, surely, crime will give way to calm. There goes the career, then.

Not a chance. No sooner has she settled than a surprise discovery springs from a local well. Two skeletons: both wearing the signs of thirty years of decay, with one also wearing a hat. And, if this wasn’t uncommon enough, a monk is soon killed in a neighbouring town.

Who are the skeletons? Who murdered the monk? Is there a connection? Step forward Jimm Juree…
