A Chief Inspector Pointer Mystery! Chief Inspector Pointer finds himself looking into the suspected suicide of the owner of a chain of high-end hair dressing salons. The only thing suspicious about the death is a tenuous link to the earlier brutal murder of a woman at a cottage called The Clearing in Lincolnshire. The clues in that case are sparse, and while there are suspects, none would seem to have a motive strong enough to fit the nature of the crime, and none of them had any connection the subject of his own investigation. The inspector, however, becomes convinced that there is a connection, and that to solve his own case, he must first solve the earlier murder.
