Criminal barristers Sasha Wass and Jeremy Dein return to their investigation of a toxic love triangle which culminated in the mysterious murder of Yorkshire farm owner Frederick Morton. Yorkshire, 1933, at 3am on a September morning. A mother, her daughter and the child's nanny left their farmhouse to find that their barn was ablaze. The farm owner, 30-year-old Frederick Morton, was nowhere to be seen. The fire brigade and police attended and the fire was extinguished, but later that morning in the ruins of the barn, the charred remains of Frederick Morton were discovered. A post mortem revealed he had been shot. Suspicion soon fell on 35-year-old farm employee Ernest Brown, who had recently been demoted from groom to an odd job man. He was accused of shooting Frederick Morton when he had arrived home the evening before, then setting the barn on fire to cover up the crime.
