Yorkshire Dales. October 1976. The landlord of the Crown Inn is found at the bottom of his cellar steps with a broken soda syphon for company.

The police call it a fall. Jackie Naylor, brewery rep, mustard Cortina, red lipstick, and a packet of crisps for every occasion, was supposed to be selling Bernard Ilkley a better class of bitter. Instead she's dealing with his death.

DCI Malcolm Crane of the county CID runs a tidy investigation. He does not require the assistance of a woman from Whitworth's.

He is going to get it anyway.
