Filthy-rich American Raylan Reeve bought an estate in Kembleford and lures Brown with a hunt at a donation to his golf club's inaugural women's tournament. Raylan's daughter Tamara vehemently opposes, in vain, the participation of her own daughter Morgana Reeve, opposed despite dismayed comments from Mrs. McCarthy by allowance-cut disguised Bunty, who finds a male corpse in the pond. He was assumed by combatant neighbor Hermione Harvey the latest Reeve agent attempting to conduce her to sell ancestral land to the club. Brown looks into Tamara's forbidden love with colored American pro golfer Michael Nelson and digs up a grim family secret after Raylan's murder in his office.
