A stuttering bishop from Australia appears in Perry’s office one afternoon, hinting at an injustice that began twenty-two years earlier when a millionaire, angry because his son had married against his wishes, conspires to make the son’s new bride a fugitive from justice, fleeing from a trumped-up manslaughter charge. Now the son has died and it turns out that before divorcing his wife on Dad’s orders, the wife got pregnant and had a daughter. After the son dies, Grandad takes the twenty-year-old daughter into his home.

The bishop can’t or won’t give Perry the full story and says Perry will have to puzzle it out for himself and see that justice is served. Perry is very suspicious because he can’t imagine a stutterer rising to the rank of a bishop. But Mason loves a good mystery above all else and so dives in with both feet. Inevitably, someone’s going to die and the case will take all sorts of complicated twists and turns.
