description: The small town of Kirkudbright had always been a placidly contented community of artists and fishermen until the arrival of Sandy Campbell, a belligerent Scot who seems to thrive on making enemies.His talent proves great in that arena but, when his broken body is found at the foot of a ravine, the local constabulary are convinced the argumentative painter was merely the victim of a tragic accident rather than vengeful murder.Enter Lord Peter Wimsey, who almost immediately discovers some highly suspicious clues which the police have missed. Before long the hunt is on for an ingenious killer.Faced with six men, all of whom have a motive for murder, the aristocratic amateur-sleuth must deduce who are the five red herrings and exactly who has blood on his hands.Adapted by Alistair Beaton and starring Ian Carmichael as Lord Peter Wimsey it was first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 from 4 January to 22 February 1978.
