Synopsis:

"When something appalling happens to one at first one thinks about it all the time, and then gradually one sets it aside and only remembers it irregularly until at last one's sorrow is reduced to a sort of exhibit, like something in a drawer, something one can fish out and look at and say, `Ah yes-I remember now-that happened to me.' And the old indignation returns, but not to stay. The phrase `a skeleton in the cupboard'is right-not so much for the word skeleton as for the word cupboard. One takes one's sorrow out from time to time and looks at it, and puts it back again. But one must put it back. That is essential. Thought breaks the heart.
Kings Lacy, like many an English country town, has a festival. As a opera lover Dr Davie would hate to miss it. Nearby at Bexminster Electronics, secrets are leaking to Japanese rivals. When two bodies are found savagely chopped down Dr Davie begins his scholarly investigations.
