As the sun rises over the Cotswolds village of Maybury-in-the-Marsh, at the Old Forge a cry of anguish goes up. Lady of the house Amy Phelps has been found dead - but with all the windows and doors to her room locked, how - and by who - was she killed?
Arbuthnot "˜Arbie' Swift finds himself in the unlikely position of investigating. The author of The Gentleman's Guide to Good Ghost Hunting - an excuse for Arbie to indulge his love of travel funded by the owners of country houses who hear the supernatural in every creak and echo - might be more used to dealing with the long dead, but as he's currently staying at the Old Forge to investigate a suspected spectre, Amy's murder falls to him too.
With old friend Val, he begins to dig into the old lady's death, and soon uncovers a sorry tale of altered wills, secret love affairs and tragic losses. But when a second victim is killed, Arbie has to find the killer fast - and to do so will mean cracking the most ingeniously plotted murder...
