DI Maya Rahman is just back from Bangladesh and she should be on compassionate leave as she went there to bury her brother after he committed suicide. Instead of grieving at home and getting over her jet lag she's pitched straight into a murder investigation as a new member of staff discovers the body of popular headteacher Linda Gibson in her study at Mile End High School. Her hands are bound and beside her strangled body is a card with a Buddhist precept: ''I shall abstain from taking the ungiven.'' It's the second of five precepts and Maya is worried that there's been a murder that hasn't been spotted - and that there will be more deaths. [[Turn a Blind Eye by Vicky Newham|Full Review]]
