The key to unlocking a series of murders in 1920s' Worcestershire
lies in South Africa - and a devastating 20-year-old secret
February, 1927. The remains of an unidentified middle-aged man are
found beneath the snow in the grounds of Maxtead Court, home of the
wealthy Scroope family. Meanwhile, Margaret Rees-Talbot is
preparing for her wedding to the Rev Symon Scroope - to the
disapproval of some residents of the small market town of Folbury,
who think it's too soon after the death of Margaret's father
Osbert, found drowned in his bath a few months previously. An
accident - or was there more to it than that? Before he died,
Osbert had been writing an account of his experiences as a soldier
during the Second Boer War. But what really happened in South
Africa back in 1902? Could there be a connection to his death? Then
a second death occurs. And it becomes increasingly clear to the
investigating DI Herbert Reardon that at least one Folbury resident
has a shocking secret to hide.
