La quiete di Ferne Basset viene rotta da una serie di eventi misteriosi: tutto comincia quando Ann Lawrence, moglie dell'ex vicario, accusa Carlotta, una delle giovani con un passato difficile alle spalle di cui si è preso carico il marito, di averle rubato un paio di orecchini. Carlotta, sconvolta, fugge inseguita da Ann. Arrivate sul ponte del villaggio, la discussione degenera e Carlotta cade nel fiume. Alla scena assiste Charlie Leathers che, avendo udito la ragazza gridare: "Non spingere!" decide di ricattare Ann chiedendole dei soldi. Tuttavia, il giorno successivo al pagamento dell'estorsione, l'ispettore Barnaby - che si sta preparando a festeggiare le nozze d'argento - viene messo al corrente che Charlie è stato strangolato e il suo cane, Candy, picchiato a morte. Frattanto Ann riceve un'altra lettera ricattatoria: questa volta decide di non pagare. Ma mentre si reca in banca a restituire i soldi, viene scippata e ridotta in fin di vita. Per scoprire chi ha ucciso Charlie, che cos'è successo a Carlotta e chi ha aggredito Ann, Barnaby e la sua squadra dovranno scavare a fondo in tutti i misteriosi segreti del villaggio. Dove i rapporti tra gli abitanti non sono quelli che sembrano e tutti paiono voler nascondere qualcosa.

"Barnaby and Troy are experts at uncovering the sordid details of the lives of the English countryside's most secretive residents, and they soon go to work at Forbes Abbot. Was Dennis Brinkley done in by crooked business partners, a teenage seductress, or a couple of would-be publishers who've just inherited - and then lost - millions? Or perhaps it was tired, timid little Benny Fraye, who wouldn't hurt a fly - would she? Barnaby and Troy will soon find out just who set in motion the gruesome machine that crushed the unfortunate victim."--BOOK JACKET.

Badger's Drift is an ideal English village, complete with vicar, bumbling local doctor, and kindly spinster with a nice line in homemade cookies. But when the spinster dies suddenly, her best friend kicks up an unseemly fuss, loud enough to attract the attention of Detective Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby. And when Barnaby and his eager-beaver deputy start poking around, they uncover a swamp of ugly scandals and long-suppressed resentments seething below the picture-postcard prettiness. In the grand tradition of the quietly intelligent copper, Barnaby has both an irresistibly dry sense of humor and a keen insight into what makes people tick.
