His death is at first presumed to be accidental. Superintendent Lambert and Sergeant Hook find to their embarrassment that his granddaughter's suspicions of foul play are only too well founded. As Lambert and Hook probe temperaments of those closest to the dead man, they realise that somewhere among these likeable, even admirable, men and women, a murderer is watching events unfold. The pace of the investigation is swift, and the solution both unexpected and intriguing.
