Synopsis

Here is a tale about greed and the lengths to which an obsession with wealth can drive different people with different values. The year is 1965 and Detective Chief Inspector Joss Austin has to discover and uncover the reasons for a number of ruthless killings. Are they linked? It is a great mystery; all the greater because the answer to the murders lies shrouded in the history of three hundred years and the story of a once splendid house, whose ancestral ghosts still haunt Beauchamp Square, even though it has now been knocked down to make way for some 'neo-Georgian' modern dwellings designed to suit the pockets and the predilections of the older and lonelier members of society. When Dora Morris, recently widowed and in her forties, comes to Beauchamp Square, it soon becomes apparent that life is not going to be quite how the estate agents made out. Margaret Ryding has done it again: bringing to life the roots upon which our present flourishes, the foundations upon which today is built. History is not old and grey but rich and bright: today is young and full of promise.
