The political, moral and environmental aspects of the discovery of oil in rural England provide a surprisingly modern start to this story, set in the early 1950s. A violent death occurs, the rest of the family behave stupidly, suspicion flies in all directions and Inspector French painstakingly, and at length, untangles the problem.
