Synopsis: On the East Anglian coast the body of a student from an Anglican theological college is found smothered by a fall of sand. His wealthy father demands that Scotland Yard should re-examine the verdict of accidental death. Commander Dalgliesh has visited St Anselm’s in his boyhood and, as he is due for a holiday, agrees to pay a visit, expecting no more than a nostalgic return to old haunts and a straightforward examination of the evidence given at the inquest. Instead he finds himself embroiled in one of the most horrific and puzzling cases of his career. Other visitors come to the college on the weekend of his arrival, not all of them with benign intent. One of them will never leave it alive.
