Detective Chief Inspector C.D. Sloan #22 Josephine Short was a woman with a secret or two, some that she tried to carry to her grave. When her great-nephew's wife, Janet Wakefield, gets a call from the Berebury Nursing Home, she's somewhat taken aback. Not only is she surprised to hear that her husband's estranged great-aunt has passed away, but she's stunned to learn that this great-aunt, Josephine Short, had been living nearby for years without a word. But the surprises don't stop there. Sure that her husband Bill was the last of Josepine's close family, Janet is once again stunned when a handsome young man approaches her at the funeral and introduces himself as Josephine's grandson. She is particularly stunned since there has been no word in the family of a son, much less a grandson. Meanwhile, Detective Chief Inspector Sloan and his less-than-helpful sidekick Detective Constable Crosby find themselves assigned two rather puzzling cases. First, there’s the young woman’s body which has been discovered in the River Alm. And then there’s the mysterious break-in at the Berebury Nursing Home. To be precise, it’s Josephine Short’s room at the nursing home that’s been entered, although nothing seems to be missing. What could the intruder have been after? It becomes apparent to Sloan and Crosby that the two cases are connected—but who can the killer be?
