It is a summer afternoon in 1981.At a wedding party being given by the Napier family in the grounds of what had once been their house in Cornwall,Chris Napier,the bride's uncle,is shocked to recognize a drunken,dishevelled and evidently distraught intruder.It is his childhood friend,Nicky Lanyon,whom Chris has not seen since his father,Michael Lanyon,was hanged for the murder in 1947 of Chris's great-uncle,Joshua Carnoweth.
It was the inheritance of old Joshua's fortune that led the then humble Napier family to their present state of affluence. When Nicky subsequently hangs himself in the grounds of the Napier house,Chris sets out on a journey into his own memory that takes him into greater depth and detail than at any time since the tragic event in his boyhood.Impelled to test the truth of Nicky's firm belief in his father's innocence,he soon realizes that his understanding of the events surrounding the murder is no understanding at all.The conduct of more than one member of his own family begins to seem myterious.And soon other,larger mysteries begin to dog his hesitant footsteps into the past.Once again Robert Goddard teases and questions our assumptions,as he challenges those of his characters.Once again he confirms his reputation as 'a compelling storyteller of our time'.
