A criminal comedy

It all starts with a nasty little scandal among the young and prosperous citizens of Headfield, England. Someone is sending anonymous notes accusing Derek Cowley of having an affair with the wife of Charles Porson, his partner in a travel agency. When the partners make a business trip to Italy, events escalate to murder, and the investigation reveals everything from double-dealing in business to smuggling- but not who was behind the murder. Derek's friend Jason has some suspicions, but it takes years before he discovers the surprising truth.
