An expected death conceals a more dangerous mystery

The death of an ailing father might appear to require little explanation, but the circumstances surrounding Sir Oliver's final days raise troubling questions. Within the circle of his son Alan Poston, Alan's wife Diana and their acquaintances, personal relationships and the prospect of an inheritance make the timing significant. Odd incidents and apparently accidental events suggest that there is more to the household than its respectable surface reveals. Detectives Thorne and Abbot must work through a tangle of behaviour and motives before the full pattern becomes clear. John Penn combines family tensions, concealed attachments and a conventional police investigation in a mystery about the danger hidden within a closely connected group.
