Sheila Malory's friend, the TV actor David Beaumont, is deeply in debt, and about to lose his beautiful cottage and the chance of a perfect job. His only hope is his brother Francis, the Dean of Culminster Cathedral.
But Francis is a cold, self-centered man, who has tyrannized his wife and children for many years, and he callously refuses to help.
Then, only hours later, Francis Beaumont is murdered . . .
Was David's desperation really that strong? Could he have killed his own brother . . .?
