Alasdair Hamilton and Toby Bowe are the darlings of post-war British cinema, playing Holmes and Watson onscreen and off. When they're called on to portray their fellow amateur detectives--Orlando Coppersmith and Jonty Stewart--not only do they find distinct challenges in depicting real people, they also become embroiled in solving a century-old murder. How did a body lie undiscovered so long in the Stewart family vaults, who's been covering up the murder ever since and why was the victim killed in the first place?

Lockdown is stressful enough for Chief Inspector Robin Bright. Then a murder makes this strange time even stranger. In one of Kinechester's most upmarket areas, the body of Ellen, a brilliant but enigmatic recluse, has lain undiscovered for days. Pinning down the time--and date--of death will be difficult, but finding a killer during unprecedented times could prove impossible.

Detective Chief Inspector Robin Bright and his partner, deputy headteacher Adam Matthews, have just consigned their summer holiday to the photo album. It's time to get back to the daily grind, and the biggest problem they're expecting to face: their wedding plans. Then fate strikes-literally-with a bang. Someone letting loose shots on the common, a murder designed to look like a suicide, and the return of a teacher who made Robin's childhood hell all conspire to turn this into one of his trickiest cases yet. Especially when somebody might be targeting their Newfoundland, Campbell. Robin is used to his and Adam's lives being in danger, but this takes the-dog-biscuit.
