A respectable bookseller is found bludgeoned and strangled and it's up to Chief Superintendent Wycliffe to find out why ...When Matthew Glynn is murdered, Wycliffe is mystified. Why would anyone want to kill him? But a look at Glynn's background reveals tension within the family. Alfred Glynn, an eccentric recluse, has born a grudge against his brother for years.

And then another Glynn dies ...
