Publisher's Synopsis
On a holiday in Cornwall Julian and Gaby Radclive are entertained by friends from Oxford at the local cliff top hotel. Among those staying is the bad-tempered TV cook and restaurant owner, Justin Grainger, with his wife Meghan. After dinner Grainger and an unidentified companion are seen walking across the hotel garden towards the cliff edge and he is found the next day lying dead on the beach below. It soon emerges that Grainger was in financial difficulties and hoping to pay off the bank supporting him by selling drugs through his restaurant chain. His supplier in Cornwall, whom Julian identifies, finds another distributor, a London-based dealer who already distributes throughout the UK. Unwisely, Julian agrees to help the police track down the dealer and exposes himself and his friends to danger and injury. The scene shifts between Cornwall, Oxfordshire, London and back to Cornwall before the villain is finally cornered.
