Richard Pryor and Angela Bray’s consultancy is becoming established when an apparent suicide at an isolated Welsh farm raises questions about the physical evidence. A separate request from the War Office introduces another problem in which official secrecy restricts what the investigators can reveal.

The most urgent case concerns a Cotswold veterinary surgeon accused of poisoning his sick wife and facing execution if convicted. Richard must reassess the toxicology and medical testimony presented against him, showing how a plausible prosecution can collapse when laboratory results are interpreted without sufficient care.
