　　2000年，一个飞扬跳动的春天，中国加入WTO的谈判已进入关键时期，欧洲雪儿乳业中国区的总裁，年轻的让保罗带着占领中国乳业市场的抱负，飞往中国东海市，恰巧与东海市霞光乳业集团总经理刘丹虹同机。
　　迎接刘丹虹的是坏稍息，霞光牛奶出了事故，导致孕妇生命垂危。虽然后来在李子英市长的直接干预和刘丹虹的努力下，霞光较理智地处理了事故，但霞光深层的问题和矛盾却凸显出来。东海市政府为加快国企改革，应对WTO挑战，调整干部队伍，刘丹虹被任命为霞光集团总经理、党委书记,挑起了国企改革重担。
　　与此同时，欧洲雪儿、美国黑雀和私营大地公司都在东海市拉开了竞争的架式。为了抢夺市场，孔良的大地乳业与霞光展开了价格战，给霞光造成了不小的危机。刘丹虹以诚感人，使孔良意识到经营中必须遵守市场游戏规则。而考虑长远的刘丹虹断然停产拆厂，建立新厂区新生产线的行动,更惊动了雪儿、黑雀和大地,他们看到了霞光改革的决心和大手笔。霞光的改革导致大量工人、干部下岗,刘丹虹在巨大的压力面前，积极开拓就业门路，安排下岗工人，霞光职工在关键时刻也表现出自我牺牲精神，使改革在艰难中继续前进。
　　刘丹虹意识到WTO不仅是挑战也是机遇，市场不仅有竞争也有联合。于是刘丹虹与雪儿的主动合作，由雪儿出资金、霞光出人，在边远省份共同成立改造了十多个资源基地，也安排了一大批职工。加入WTO已进入了倒计时，大地、霞光都在进行上市准备，一直在旁观望的黑雀公司，认为是介入霞光的好时机。围绕企业姓资还是姓社，秦冀平与刘丹虹产生了严重分歧。但刘丹虹毫不动摇，她相信，这是中国国企迅速强大、真正融入国际市场，参与国际竞争的必由之路。大地抢先上市，让保罗企图通过股票交易吞并大地，控制霞光，随之而来的股市大震荡，使各方都处在更紧急的境况……

　　Morse is taken seriously ill at a museum reception and is hospitalized. In the hospital, Supt. Strange, visits Morse to push him to take early retirement, while Dr. Millicent 'Millie' Van Buren gives him her book on a 140 year-old court case known as the Oxford Canal Murders. The case involved the murder and rape of a young woman, Mrs Joanna Franks, traveling by canal boat from Coventry to London. The case resulted in three boatmen being sentenced to death and two of them hanged. Morse starts to read Millie's book and dreams about it. He soon has a number of problems with the case.
　　Why weren't the three men also charged with theft? Why did Mrs Franks take a boat instead of a train that was much faster and comfortable and only slightly more expensive? Why didn't she abandon the boat after she complained about lewd behavior of the crew at the shipping office in Banbury? Why did she then drink and 'socialise' with the crew? What happened to her 'carpet bag' with which she arrived on the boat but which was not mentioned in the court case, nor was it stored in the archives with her, almost empty, trunk? The trunk was marked with initials of her first husband who had died. How did it happen that her shoes were found on the boat but nobody saw her return to the boat from the forest?
　　PC Adrian Kershaw does some brilliant leg work for Morse. He studied history and has invaluable background knowledge. For instance, he mentions that the boatmen had bad reputation because they worked on Sundays and did not attend church. Later a chapel was built for them in Oxford.
　　The dead woman's clothes and the shoes found on the boat are submitted to modern forensic investigation. The result is that the shoes did not belong to the dead woman found in the water because she was much taller.The shoes were never used in the forest.
　　Only Mrs Franks' husband, Charles Franks, was called to identify the body of the dead woman. He claimed that, while her face was darkened and disfigured, he found a birth mark behind her ear. The prosecutor welcomed that information "that only a husband or a lover would know". The accused were not shown the body. The defense attorney merely claimed that the guilt of the three men was not proved. All three accused claimed to the end that they were innocent. One of them was not executed because he embraced Christianity in prison.
　　Morse instructs Kershaw to investigate if Charles Franks benefited from his wife's death and, indeed, he pocketed 300 pounds insurance money. Case closed: Charles Franks murdered a tall women and dropped her in the canal after meeting Joanna in the forest. If Joanna Franks jumped off the boat at the same time as the dead body hit the water, she swam to the bank and joined her husband. The couple changed their names, in the case of 'Charles Franks' a second time after he 'died' as Joanna's first husband. The fourth boatman, a youngster who was not charged, was probably paid by Joanna to give false testimony.
　　Morse travels to Ireland and has a grave of Joanna's first husband exhumed. The coffin contains bags of sand and some stones.
