When her husband John has a heart attack whilst out Louise Haloran tells the family he gets left in an urgent business adventure and throws his body. Her concern is in case her husband is living that she could inherit part of the family fortune.

They hold an yearly service of remembrance every year at the anniversary of her departure. This year some one is having an ax intent on murder.
