For a Kingsmarkham CID sergeant, May 13 was the day he died--carrying a fake gun confiscated from his schoolboy son...and the mysterious trigger of five more murders. A year later Chief Inspector Wexford is called to Tancred House, where grande dame Davina Flory and her family lie shot to death in a tableau of blood. The only survivor, seventeen-year-old Daisy Flory, insists her life is finished anyway. A strange girl...who stirs feelings in Wexford that are too close to home. But right now he must focus all his formidable powers of thought on a case with no witnesses, two suspects vanished into thin air, clues that range from grooves inside a gun barrel to a blackmailer left dangling from a tree--and a kaleidoscope of motives from greed and revenge to sex and mania.
