Description

It is nearly the Day of Reckoning in bucolic Enscombe, where the feudal paying of rents to Squire Guillemard is followed by feasting, gossip, and, this year, mayhem. Called down to investigate a missing policeman. Yorkshire's Superintendent Dalziel, Inspector Pascoe, and Sergeant Wield discover dark secrets, Byzantine plots, and skulduggery beneath the village green. Enscombe is under siege, with market forces breaching the gates, developers lusting after The Green, tourists assailing Old Hall, and the embattled school making a desperate last stand. Torn between filthy lucre and survival, the village teeters on the brink of cataclysmic change. As Dalziel, Pascoe, and Wield dig deeper to find the missing copper, they unearth a hotbed of lasciviousness and lies, family feuds and ancient injuries, frustrated desires and unbalanced minds -- a roiling brew ready to explode on the Day of Reckoning, only hours away.
