Synopsis[]
Abrasive Clinton Finn, the head of an American software company based in Midsomer, fumes at the police's inability to catch the Bucketman, a local who targets speeding drivers from the company, including Finn, and throws red paint over them. DCI Barnaby however has a more pressing case, the murder of schoolteacher Emily Harte, deliberately knocked from her bicycle at night and run over. However Emily had been loaned her cycle cape by boffin George Jeffers, who would seem to be the intended victim. Not only is his ex-wife in a relationship with Finn but he has antagonised the American by withdrawing the extremely costly air traffic control system he designed for Finn's company due to a Glitch.
