1955, Lydmouth. Mr Frederick, a television engineer, arrives to sell and adapt new television sets. He comes for two nights and apparently leaves. On the evening of that same day, eccentric Dr Bayswater, a retired GP, is found dead. A gentleman's yellow kid glove, slightly gnawed by rats, is found lying next to his body. Detective Chief Inspector Richard Thornhill is drafted in to investigate. It soon becomes apparent that the case is going to be far from straight-forward. Bayswater was not liked, particularly not by his dashing successor, Dr Connolly nor by a local lorry driver with a grudge and a need for money. Meanwhile, Jill Francis has returned after three years to take over as editor of the Gazette. But there is fierce competition from the ruthless Ivor Fuggle.s rival Evening Post and when she is not trying to keep the newspaper afloat she spends her much of her time with Dr Connolly. Nevertheless, despite himself, Thornhill is still in love with her. This is the 7th Thornhill-novel.

Å, denne likte jeg så godt! Merka at jeg ikke var så opptatt av hvem som drepte herr x og hvor det ble av herr y, men hvorfor Mrs Fuggle var som hun var, om Mr Fuggle var en bølle eller bare uforskamma, hva det egentlig var med Mrs Rodleys helse og om den unge legen var en kjekkas eller om det lå noe under, se det var jeg interessert i! Og det holdt helt ut, det. Greit å få løsningen på førstnevnte mysterier også. Og jeg har en bok til av denne forfatteren liggende!
