DS Hathaway finds himself returning to Crevecoeur Hall, the estate where he lived until the age of 12 when his father was estate manager there. He and Di Lewis are investigating the death of Stephen Black who was found dead on the tour bus that had visited there that day. He is fondly received at the Hall by its head Augustus Mortmaigne and becomes re-acquainted childhood friends Scarlett Mortmaigne and Paul Hopkiss, now the butler. While a second death on the estate provides additional clues to the possible murderer, there are several suspects who may have had reason to commit murder. Lewis is able to determine that Stephen Black was on the trail of uncovering a legendary family treasure that he believed to be buried somewhere on the estate so greed could have been a motivation. The estate manager, Ralph Grahame, was abandoned by his wife some 8 years before leaving him alone to raise his daughter Briony so jealously and revenge-taking could be at the root of it all. Then there is also the shooting of Philip Coleman, Augustus' nephew, who was wounded during the re-enactment of a historic Civil War battle. While Hathaway thinks he has a fairly straightforward solution to the crimes, it's left to Lewis to come up with the correct conclusion to what is a far more complex set of murders.—garykmcd imdb.com
