A police detective is photographed after apparently murdering a prosecutor by hanging her in her office. The detective has something of a fascination with death. What is in the strange chequered box he forces onto his daughter and who is the mysterious "Mr G" with whom they have a deal? Jonathan, for his part, is more concerned as to how a piece of chewing gum got moved from one potted plant to another at the crime scene. No weapon or any other evidence of an intruder can be found, nor any rational explanation for the victim's wounds.

The first two series were broadcast in the U.S. on a number of PBS stations, while the remainder aired on BBC America.

Clore, now living in Surtees old country mansion, is nearing death and incapacitated, so invites his daughter Alison – the only surviving family member following the death of his wife and oldest two children – to tell her his, and the house’s secrets. She’s the main link to Creek, with her husband Stephen Belkin the centre of one of Creek previous cases, ‘The Striped Unicorn’, albeit not previously seen by the viewer. Guest stars: Dinah Sheridan, Nicholas Ball, Emma Kennedy, Hetty Baynes, Benjamin Whitrow, Tom Goodman-Hill and William Vanderpuye.
