- Whilst surgeons are fighting to save the life of a young woman, an archaeology student found in bed with gunshot wounds to the head, Wycliffe is approached by wealthy novelist David Cleeve. He has been the regular recipient of a single playing card, the Jack of Diamonds, and on the last occasion the card was torn in half, causing Cleeve to believe that someone is out to murder him. When a man walking on a beach is indeed killed Cleeve reckons that he was the intended victim and Wycliffe uncovers a whole series of crimes starting some years earlier.—don @ minifie-1
- Det. Supt. Wycliffe and his team investigate the shooting of Celia Dawe, an archeology student who was shot in the head while lying in bed and is now in a coma in hospital. She was there on an archaeological dig organized by Professor Faber on land owned by the wealthy mystery novelist David Cleeve. He also owns the cottage in which she was shot. The only clue they have is the sighting of a yellow Metro in the area of the cottage around the time she is believed to have been shot. When a second man, Roger Kitson, is shot they're not sure the two incidents are connected. Finding the yellow car and identifying its owner is key to uncovering the motive for the crimes, a result of something that occurred many years before.—garykmcd
