When young Michael Callaway is murdered at the cloistered confines
of Kings School, an exclusive private boarding school for the sons
of the British upper classes, Chief Inspector Thomas Ford of
Scotland Yard is dispatched to investigate. But Ford is haunted by
grim memories of his own days at Kings and even more ghastly
memories of his time spent in the trenches during the Great War.
Ford's investigation doesn't start well. The school's
authorities throw obstacles at him and offer vague, conflicting
evidence. The clues are either red herrings or lead nowhere, and
everyone has an alibi. The evidence points to another boy until he
is also found dead, adding to the confusion. As the case unfolds,
Ford finally discovers motives-too many motives, leading to too
many suspects.
Enmeshed in the coils of intrigue and deception, Ford pursues
his quarry from sleepy rural villages to the gilded mansions of
aristocratic England, searching for a grain of truth amid the dust
of irrelevancies. But he must allow his loathsome time at Kings and
his disturbing military experiences to fade if he hopes to flush
out the true killer.
