Has a village feud led to murder or is the killer closer to home？

It’s Rupert Iverson’s twenty-fifth birthday， and he’s celebrating with a fancy-dress party at his father’s North Norfolk manor house。

But his birthday ends with a bang — on the head — and him drowned in his swimming pool， wearing a Louis XIV costume。

Most of his party guests wanted him dead for one reason or another — as do some of the local people。

Now one of the villagers falls to her death from the nearby cliffs 。 。 。

Detectives Sam Clayton and Julie Everett must race against time to stop anyone else paying the ultimate price。
