The lady of the local manor house is found dead among rumors of a suicide pact with her young lover. Lady Duxter's husband rallies quickly-- too quickly, it is murmured in the village. Lord Duxter has offered his manor house to a motley crew of writers for his writers' retreat, and he insists the show must go on. When a young girl goes missing and a crime writer becomes a target, DCI Cotton asks Max to lend his MI5 expertise to the investigation.
