A shooting party ends in tragedy when Captain Denis Cathcart, fiancé to Lord Peter's sister Lady Mary, is found dead at Riddlesdale Lodge, the Yorkshire country house of the Duke of Denver.

Suspicion immediately falls on Gerald, the Duke of Denver and Lord Peter Wimsey's elder brother. As scandal engulfs the family and the Duke stands trial for murder, Peter is determined to prove his brother's innocence.
