- Gently and Bacchus arrive in a small town to investigate when a mill manager is found hanged in what seems to be a suicide case.
- Days before the 1964 General Election manager Patrick Fuller is found dead and the safe robbed at the flour mill he once owned but, financially strapped, he sold for a pittance to prospective Labour M.P. Geoffrey Pershore. Fuller's widow knows he was in an affair with a colleague's wife and the surly foreman, who blackmailed them, is the next corpse to be discovered. Bacchus discovers that Fuller was a Mason and infiltrates the local lodge to find a witness, leading Gently and himself to not one but two killers.—don @ minifie-1
- DCI Gently and DS Bacchus investigate the death of Patrick Fuller, who is found hanging in the mill he managed, an apparent suicide. When they find that the office safe has been ransacked, they think foul play may be involved. The mill is owned by Geoffrey Pershore who is a Labour candidate in the upcoming general election. He had purchased the mill from Fuller the year before in order to jobs in the area but the police uncover a secret that may have been the cause of Fuller's death. Before they can come to some conclusion about the nature of Fuller's death, another mill employee is killed.—garykmcd
- Patrick Fuller, who managed the flower factory employing half of Rinton town, is found hanging there, initially seeming a suicide. The fresh widow assumes he had an affair with his birdbrain teen secretary Julie, but it was the wife of his old friend Henry Blythely, whom Patrick passed over as foreman in favor of lazy, again uncooperative veteran Sam Draper, whose corpse later floats in the river after a fist fight. Only confronted with cash and papers missing from the factory safe, owner Geoffrey Pershore, who bought it cheaply from Fuller while ailing and turned it over, admits the books were being doctored, while standing as Labour candidate MP against Tory Nicholas Mundy, enthusiastically campaign-helped by teen employee Jed Jimpson, to whom he's a second father after his lush real one died months ago. Bachhus has his grumpy father in law Chief Constable Lilley overturn Gentley's objections to London police 'recruiting seminar' and sponsor him as applicant for the local masonic lodge, an angle George refused to investigate, where he meets corrupted health inspector Maurice Hilton.—KGF Vissers
