Suspense
When a famed Oxford historian is found dead in his study one
night, all evidence points to his son, Stephen. About to be
disinherited from the family fortune, Stephen returns to
home after a long estrangement—and it happens to be the
night his father is shot to death. When his fingerprints are
found on the murder weapon, Stephen’s guilt seems
undeniable. But there were five other people in the manor
house at the time, and as their stories slowly emerge—along
with the revelation that the deceased man was involved in a
deadly hunt for a priceless relic in Northern France at the
end of World War II—the race is on to save Stephen from a
death sentence. Everyone has a motive, and no one is telling
the truth. Unwilling to sit by and watch the biased judge
condemn Stephen to death, an ageing police inspector decides
to travel from England to France to find out what really
happened in that small French village in 1945—and what
artifact could be so valuable it would be worth killing for.
