Plot
Adam Dalgliesh arrives at Toynton Grange to be confronted by 2 deaths, one supposedly a suicide, the other a heart attack. However each of the deaths raises questions about whether they are in fact natural. As the book progresses 2 more deaths occur again one a suicide that many people feel is unlikely, the other an unexpected death that requires the coroner to become involved.
It is only in the final chapters that Adam Dalgleish realises that the innocent care home is in fact the centre of a drug smuggling operation and that all the deaths are murders carried out to prevent the police finding the truth.
In the final scene Adam Dalgliesh fights for his life against an assailant who is at the centre of the drug smuggling operation. He finds that this adventure leaves him with an appreciation of life and a desire to return to police work.
