Summary

Pascoe finds his loyalties torn when duty calls him to Yorkshire but one of his friends is accused of multiple murder and may need his help… Read by the star of the BBC TV series Colin Buchanan.

Peter Pascoe is in shock. A weekend in the country with old friends turns into a nightmare when he finds three of them dead and the missing fourth a prime suspect in the eyes of the local police.

They want his cooperation, but Superintendent Dalziel needs him back in Yorkshire where a string of unsolved burglaries looks like turning nasty.

As events unfold, though, the two cases seem to be getting entwined…
