Book description
When Matthew Glynn is murdered, Wycliffe is mystified. Why would anyone
want to kill him? But a look at Glynn's background reveals tension
within the family. Alfred Glynn, an eccentric recluse, has born a grudge
against his brother for years. The other brother, Maurice, argued
bitterly with Matthew over the sale of family land. His sister Sara is
caught out in several crucial lies to the police. Add to this a
discontented son, the discovery of valuable documents in the
bookseller's safe, and the mysterious, still unexplained disappearance
of Matthew's wife years earlier, and Wycliffe faces one of his most
impenetrable cases yet. And then another Glynn dies . . .
