In the doghouse with his supervisor, Inspector Rutledge is sent to Cornwall to investigate the death of three people from the same family. What makes this situation more important is one of the dead people is a rather famous poet who even Rutledge admired for her war verse.

Recovering from the backlash of his war experiences, his flashbacks and internal conversations with Hamish, a soldier that he reluctantly executed, enrich the tale and help us understand his anguish and postwar suffering. Nevertheless, he does a remarkable job of investigating the murdered family members and uncovers the culprit. The author leads the reader on several routes before the climax. Well done!
