After the coldest night of the year, a schoolmaster is found hanging from a tree outside a village near Lydmouth, his body arranged in circumstances that could indicate suicide, murder or a fatal sexual encounter. Jill Francis is drawn into the affairs of the small public school where he taught.
Inspector Thornhill approaches the death through official evidence while a Peeping Tom spreads fear through the town and Jill wonders whether her own house is being watched. The case and their increasingly complicated personal lives expose the danger created by shame, repression and institutional loyalty.
