A promiscuous government minister puts at peril the prospects of his party at the polls when a young woman who works in his office dies in his bed. When he calls two bumbling assistants to remove the inconvenient corpse things go from bad to worse. Edgar Hodgkiss, who by chance is waiting at the police station to meet his son-in-law, Detective Inspector Donald Burke, overhears a conversation between a sergeant and a complaining citizen. Then he sees a distinctive sports car being brought in for forensic examination. From these two tenuous threads Hodgkiss untangles a seedy web of deceit and corruption going to the very highest level of government. Hodgkiss is something of a purist when it comes to cricket. Fieldsmen should not stand about with their hands in their pockets and they certainly should not all run into the wicket to congratulate the bowler every time a wicket falls. So when a fast bowler dies mysteriously Hodgkiss knows where to look for the killer. Pat Strong invites Hodgkiss to go with her to visit a friend in the country. She knows Hodgkiss is no lover of the rural life and is likely to refuse. So she dangles a bait. The town has been plagued with a rash of nasty poison pen letters and things are getting bad. Hodgkiss can't resist the call. When they arrive Hodgkiss finds that his reputation as an investigator has preceded him. He is soon swept along in the bitter undercurrents that are dividing the little town. Even as they leave, with the problem solved apparently, Hodgkiss has a moment of doubt.

The author of popular mystery stories has made his reputation by devising imaginative ways in which a killer can leave his victim in a room with all the doors and windows locked up tight. When the author is found dead ... murdered in his own locked studio ... Detective Inspector Donald Burke rules out murder until Hodgkiss views the scene. Hodgkiss soon provides a solution even more ingenious than any the author ever dreamed up. After playing a round of golf Hodgkiss and Donald Burke go to the change room where they arrive to hear the tail end of a conversation between two other players. But it is not just what they hear but the manner in which one of the other players was putting on his shoes that gives Hodgkiss the clue to solve a nasty murder that happens soon afterwards. When the man's body was found there was no doubt that death was due to a fall. But where did he fall from? The office building where he worked or the block of flats where he was a regular participant in drug-fueled orgies. Hodgkiss leaves the matter in no doubt.
