An elderly pensioner is murdered and his prized possession, a painting by a prominent artist, is stolen. Homicide detective Andrew Brooke brings private investigator Frank Lydecker into the case and Lydecker's quest links the painting to the death of another man more than twenty years earlier, leading to the complex motives of the pensioner's killer. The solution reveals the tragic irony of adoration and revenge as two sides of the same coin.
