Although the coroner returned a verdict of misadventure when Tag Chumsty's body was found on a Cornish beach, his father refused to believe his son had died by accident. In an attempt to unearth the facts, he hires Cal Fisher, private investigator, and Cal thinks he has hit the big time because Chumsty is a rich man. Of the two alternatives to accidental death (suicide or murder) Cal soon discounts the former when he discovers the dead man had been running an apparently successful business and had been spending much of his free time with an extremely shapely blonde. Which left him with murder and why on earth was Tag in Cornwall anyway? Cal's inquiries into Chumsty's movements before his death seem to upset a very diverse lot of people and upset them to the extent of wanting him bought off. Such offers merely increase Cal's determination to fulfil his obligations, even when the offers begin to get more violently persuasive. Michael Sellers has already established Cal Fisher as an apparently inefficient but finally effective private eye and this new adventure happily continues the series. The writing is sharp and witty, the characters precise and three-dimensional and the plot a wealth of ingenuity.
