Synopsis

Who shot Ben Cumberbatch in the head, and why? Who killed his father? Were the two murderous assaults connected? And how did Ben's Bajan uncle Clarence come to fall off a cliff? Was the fire that razed Glenville House caused by accident or by arson? Would Ben ever recover his memory and work out why his harmless family was being slowly eliminated?
