Desmond Merrion and Inspector Arnold investigate the disappearance of the newly appointed vicar of the fictitious coastal community of Clynde. The Reverend Jonathon Denby is well connected, the son of a baronet and with a cousin who is a government minister, so Arnold finds himself under pressure to solve the case swiftly. But when a body is discovered floating in the sea nearby the two detectives find themselves investigating a murder.
