Stephen Pengelly, owner of Barton Manor, is detested by the local community. When he is found murdered, there are few tears – but many suspects. Soon, the police have their work cut out identifying a murder weapon like no other, capable of inflicting terrible injuries.

When Adam Bailey is asked to help, he and Eve must discover who has most to gain – and who is prepared to kill, and kill again, to achieve their objective.

Faced with mystifying carvings, historical manuscripts and a strange weapon – rumoured in ancient legends – the couple work to ascertain the truth. But as the myths spring to life, they bring with them a trail of death.

Narrated by Mike Rogers.
