He and his wife Laura fix up a room for a guest, Ross Duncan, who seems extremely likeable but a little odd.

But against appearances, Vic believes in Ross's innocence.
So he sets to work through a tangled mass of evidence and discovers some very odd things about a certain Mr Reilly, an eccentric old mother - and the dead woman herself .
