The unrelenting presence of murder interrupts the bliss of Thomas
Ford's honeymoon in June of 1923. Ford, a Detective Chief Inspector
from Scotland Yard, is enjoying his honeymoon with his new wife,
Victoria, in a remote fishing village in Cornwall when fishermen
discover the murdered body of Lord Clarence Danglars Pengriffon
tangled in a fishing net. There hasn't been a murder in this
village for twenty years, and authorities drag a reluctant Ford
into the case.
The authorities and townspeople question who would kill the
affable and generous Pengriffon. By all accounts, this talented
painter didn't have a single enemy. Was this a murder of passion,
or a cold-blooded premeditated crime? As Ford sifts through the
shattered remnants of his lordship's life, he finds conflicting
clues and shadowy motives leading to vaguely possible suspects, but
no hard evidence.
Ford races into the investigation at breakneck speed,
determined to crack the case in record time so he can return to his
idyllic honeymoon, but the solution remains obstinately hidden. Or
could the murdered man himself have left behind the one vital
missing clue?
