It is a summer afternoon in 1981.At a wedding party being given by the Napier family in the grounds of what had once been their house in Cornwall,Chris Napier,the bride's uncle,is shocked to recognize a drunken,dishevelled and evidently distraught intruder. It is his childhood friend,Nicky Lanyon,whom Chris has not seen since his father,Michael Lanyon,was hanged for the murder in 1947 of Chris's great-uncle, Joshua Carnoweth.
It was the inheritance of old Joshua's fortune that led the then humble Napier family to their present state of affluence.When Nicky subsequently hangs himself in the grounds of the Napier house,Chris sets out on a journey into his own memory that takes him into greater depth and detail than at any time since the tragic event in his boyhood.Impelled to test the truth of Nicky's firm belief in his father's innocence,he soon realizes that his understanding of the events surrounding the murder is no understanding at all.The conduct of more than one member of his own family begins to seem myterious.And soon other,larger mysteries begin to dog his hesitant footsteps into the past. Once again Robert Goddard teases and questions our assumptions,as he challenges those of his characters. Once again he confirms his reputation as 'a compelling storyteller of our time'.

Synopsis
On a bright autumn afternoon in Truro, the Napier family celebrates one couple's golden wedding anniversary and another's marriage. But for one member of the clan, the day turns dark. Chris Napier, prodigal son, suddenly spots the ragged specter of a former friend, Nicky Lanyon--a man whose own family was ruined by the same twist of fate with which the Napiers were blessed. And the next morning, Chris is horrified to find Nicky dead, hanging from a tree where the boys once played....For Chris, the suicide opens a floodgate of doubt and suspicion. How did his family's wealth slip out of the hands of a great-uncle, brutally murdered before he could change his will? Were the men convicted of the crime truly guilty? And who is the mysterious, seductive woman who claims to know the Napiers' darkest secrets? As the crimes of two families are exposed, a series of violent acts shadows him and suddenly Chris knows he's in uncharted waters...until a killer drops one last disguise--for the ultimate act of revenge.From the Trade Paperback edition.
