Detective Chief Inspector Thomas 'Taff' Jones tells the brass to give the press his suicide story, but sergeant Stan Jones refuses to be side-tracked as family liaison and investigates with Mick Clark junior detective on site, despite initial forensic findings. Prime suspect is son Jeremy, who intends to sell the farm and has the fellow-surviving family dog put down by the vet, but reconstructing the murder night remains hard.
