Silas Kane is found at the foot of a cliff after a tense family gathering, and his death is accepted as an accident in the fog. When his nephew and heir is later murdered, the first verdict becomes impossible to trust.

The next heir is a schoolboy whose position makes him both important and vulnerable. Hannasyde investigates a family business, disputed succession and a sequence of attacks in which the most obvious suspect appears physically incapable of carrying them out.
