Synopsis

Amateur private eye Jack Scott is fascinated by an accidental death that could be murder and a man's disappearance that suggests something more sinister. Gwynfryn Pritchard's wife died face down in a North Wales stream. Twelve months earlier, Gerry Gault had killed a girl during his knife-throwing performance in a sleazy Liverpool nightclub and then disappeared that same night with his assistant Danny Dean. Scott's investigating uncovers a simmering paternity feud stretching back eighteen years and a cryptic note with echoes of an old BBC theme tune. And so he is led to a retirement home where a Sixties gangster resides. As the web becomes more tangled, Jack Scott knows that solving both cases will be exhausting and fraught with danger. It takes a brush with death, more corpses and a truly horrifying discovery before Scott can finally unravel a baffling confusion of murders.
