Tennis player Nevile Strange arranges for his current wife and former wife to stay together at Gull’s Point, the coastal home of Lady Tressilian. Emotional strain, old loyalties and financial dependence accumulate until the elderly hostess is murdered and the evidence appears to identify one obvious suspect.
Superintendent Battle approaches the crime as the end point of a plan rather than its beginning. Set during the pressures of wartime Britain, the novel studies how a killer can prepare personalities and circumstances long before the fatal act, turning jealousy and apparent impulsiveness into components of a deliberate design.
