Plant discovers that his catalogue cards contain less data on Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Southey...
The "wonderful" (Detroit Free Press) Richard Jury Mysteries continues with Detective Chief Inspector Richard Jury suddenly finding himself a murder suspect. Following a passionate and troubled love affair with a pretty widow named Jane Holdsworth, Richard Jury is now on the opposite side of the law as a suspect in a murder investigation. Detained in London, Jury sends his friend Melrose Plant, former Earl of Caverness, to the Holdsworth family's Lake District home to pose as an eccentric librarian. Plant discovers that his catalogue cards contain less data on Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Southey than they do on tantalizing questions about the Holdsworths: What happened to Crabbe Holdsworth's first wife? What happened to his son, Graham? What happened to the cook, Annie? And what might happen to the two children, favorites of rich old Adam Holdworth, who prefers the ambience of a swank retirement home, Castle Howe, where he and the elegant Lady Cray can drive the staff crazy? Jury and Sergeant Wiggins finally join Melrose at the Old Contemptibles pub, where they arrive at a solution that Jury detests, for no matter what he does, innocence will suffer.
