Synopsis

No death could have been more welcome than Evan Morgan’s, or more fitting for the Welcome Home celebrations in the village of Llanddewi.

It is left to the ingenuity of Sir Richard Cherrington, an eminent but slightly eccentric archaeologist with a penchant for amateur detection on a visit from Cambridge, to solve this intricate puzzle of motives and alibis.
