Ros Green, owner of a second hand shop is furious when Bert
Blackaby -- small trader -- fails to show up at the Bootsale with
her laptop but when he is found murdered and she is picked up by
the police, she knows she must act quickly. For some reason known
only to himself Bert had named her as joint beneficiary in his
will, and she discovers that he owns a valuable house packed with
antiques and she sets out to discover more about him.
Her partner Detective Sergeant Jack Russell is sent on other duties
and is not able to help as much as he would like. She finds he came
out of a POW camp with four friends and she visits them all -- an
Older Citizens club in Wales, a beautiful house in Chelsea (where
the wife of a member of parliament denounces all knowledge of Bert
and refutes all claims to his property), and to an aging pop star
who tells her Bert was a brilliant electronics man, and finally to
a millionaire author.
The mystery leads her back to the river estuary and a post war
murder, to stories of smuggling and a final confrontation with some
very eminent members of local society and her own near death. She
is saved by Jack but only after some highly revealing confessions.
As usual her path is crossed by innumerable characters -- Meg
(Pegrug) McNally, Karen and Pearl two girls from school with
dreadlocks, Helen Dixon, single parent, Joe Maxwell, and the very
proper Heather Browne -- tortured by a secret from her past.
