Is it possible to go for murder for the sake of higher justice? Yes, Mr. Todhanter decides, learning that he himself had only a couple of months to live. Having developed a plan for a “ideal” crime, he proceeds to its implementation. But … suddenly everything goes wrong, and under suspicion is innocent …
A quiet, calm course of life in the English outback unexpectedly violates the death of the head of the respectable family of John Waterhouse. It would seem that this is a fatal accident, Mr. Waterhouse just “ate something wrong.” At first, the local doctor gives such a conclusion. However, Douglas Sewell, a friend and neighbor of the unfortunate, has no doubt: John Waterhouse was killed by someone from the very closest environment. And he begins to prove it at all costs.
