 arrives into the custody of detective Jim Stringer, a man recently found guilty
 of murdering his father in the sleepy village of Adenwold. He warns Jim of
 another murder likely to happen in the same village - that of his brother,
 a reclusive intellectual. When Jim and his wife Lydia arrive at Adenwold they
 encounter a host of likely suspects and the intended victim, and suddenly Jim

international dimensions
