November, 1928. Family and friends have gathered at the Shropshire country home of Penrose Llewellyn to celebrate the retired wealthy businessmanâs 60th birthday. But the morning after what should have been a convivial supper party, their host is found dead in his bedâand the circumstances look decidedly suspicious.
As he questions the victimâs nearest and dearest, DI Herbert Reardon discovers there are several longstanding secrets lurking amongst the Llewellyn clanâand he is convinced that not everyone is telling him the truth, or at least not the whole truth. Those who stand to inherit most from Pen Llewellynâs willâif it can be foundâare under the strongest suspicion, and among them hides a ruthless killer.
