He and his wife now divide their time between Kingsmarkham and a coachhouse in Hampstead belonging to their actress daughter, Sheila. For all the benefits of a more relaxed way of life, Wexford misses being the law.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut a chance meeting in a London street, with someone he had known briefly as a very young police constable, changes everything. Tom Ede is now a Detective Superintendent, and is very keen to recruit Wexford as an adviser on a difficult case.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bodies of two women and a man have been discovered in the old coal hole of an attractive house in St John's Wood. None carries identification.
