From the Inside Flap:

Friday the thirteenth of May was most unlucky day for Sergeant Caleb Martin of Kingsmarkham CID.  That day he confiscated a replica gun from his son's school briefcase and lost his life in a bank robbery - the first link in a chain of events which led to a series of deaths.

When three people are discovered shot at Tancred House, Chief Inspector Wexford suspects a connection between the two apparently unrelated crimes.  But only the seventeen-year-old daughter of one of the victims survives to provide the most confusing of clues.

--

Although Wexford is very taken with the crime's only witness, Daisy Hoy, his feelings do not prevent his deductive powers from functioning with customary intuitive precision.
