When elderly Ailsa Lockyer-Fox is found dead in her garden, dressed only in night clothes and with blood stains on the ground near her body, the finger of suspicion points at her wealthy, landowning husband, Colonel James Lockyer-Fox. A coroner's inquest gives a verdict of 'natural causes' but the gossip surrounding him refuses to go away.
Why? Because he's guilty? Or because resentful women in the isolated Dorset village where he lives rule the roost? Shenstead is a place of too few people and too many secrets. Why have James and Ailsa cut their children out of their wills? What happened in the past to create such animosity within the family? And why is James so desperate to find his illegitimate grandchild?
Friendless and alone, his reclusive behaviour begins to alarm his London-based solicitor, Mark Ankerton, whose concern deepens when he discovers that James has become the victim of a relentless campaign which accuses him of far worse than the death of his wife. Allegations which he refuses to challenge . . . Why? Because they're a motive for murder? . . .

Zustand: Aceptable. : En la tranquila aldea de Shenstead, Dorset, la anciana Ailsa Lockyer-Fox es encontrada muerta en su jardín, vestida solo con ropa de dormir y con manchas de sangre cerca de su cuerpo. Las sospechas recaen sobre su adinerado esposo, el coronel James Lockyer-Fox. Aunque la investigación forense dictamina muerte por causas naturales, los rumores sobre James persisten. ¿Es culpable? ¿O son las mujeres resentidas del pueblo quienes dominan la situación? Shenstead es un lugar de pocos habitantes y demasiados secretos. ¿Por qué James y Ailsa excluyeron a sus hijos de su testamento? ¿Qué sucedió en el pasado para generar tal animosidad familiar? ¿Y por qué James está tan desesperado por encontrar a su nieto ilegítimo? Solo y sin amigos, su comportamiento solitario comienza a preocupar a su abogado londinense, Mark Ankerton, cuya inquietud aumenta al descubrir que James ha sido víctima de una campaña implacable que lo acusa de algo mucho peor que la muerte de su esposa. Alegaciones que él se niega a refutar. ¿Por qué? ¿Porque son un motivo para el asesinato?
