19th in the Lone Pine series. Set on Dartmoor.
The story opens with a shocking accident in Shropshire. The scene then moves to Dartmoor, to Kings Holt, now owned by Penny Warrender's father. She and Jon don't really feature in the story; it is left to the others to resolve the mystery which rapidly comes into focus when they gather at the house for a holiday.
On the way to the station, the Mortons witness a vicious crime and are glad to reach the peace of the countryside. However, Dartmoor is not very peaceful, thanks to the twins !
