A local farmer has drowned in his slurry pit. The day after his
funeral, one of their neighbours comes staggering to their farm telling
them that his brother is dead. The police now think that Guy Beardon
might have been killed and that his death in the slurry pit wasn't an
accident.
Constable Den Cooper is given the task of gathering information in the
community. Guy's daughter Lilah, begins to fear that there just might
be a murderer out there planning future killings. A future killing does
occur when Sam Carter is shot. He had worked for the Beardons for
quite a number of years. The gun is found quite soon with a number of
fingerprints on it. So, who was the shooter?
The police have their suspicions based on fingerprints, but Lilah and
her brother Rod have other ideas. It is hard to confirm anything
because they are so busy running the farm.
Author Rebecca Tope draws this murder mystery to a surprising conclusion. A good read.
