The police's principal suspect in Margot's disappearance was a currently incarcerated serial killer named Dennis Creed. Both are dealing with their own irritations: Strike over his aunt's illness, suicide threats from his ex-fiancée Charlotte (now a married mother of two), and the attempts of his half-siblings to get him to attend a party honouring his rock star biological father Johnny Rokeby Robin over Matthew's intransigence in their divorce, her continuing PTSD, and her unsettled personal life, brought into clearer focus by her brother and his wife having their first child. As a result of their previous successes, Strike and Robin (still a salaried partner) now employ three contract investigators and an office manager.
While visiting his terminally ill aunt Joan in Cornwall, Strike is approached by a woman who wants to hire Strike's firm to investigate the disappearance of her mother, Margot Bamborough, a general practitioner in London, almost 40 years previously, on 11 October 1974. Troubled Blood begins in August 2013 and ends on Robin's 30th birthday on 9 October 2014.
