They' re excited about starting a new life in the picturesque village of Ingoldby-over-Water - and about meeting their new neighbours. But they' ve barely moved into Yew Tree Cottage when their new neighbour at Standing Stone Manor, Professor Edwin Robertshaw, invites Donald over to discuss some ' fishy business' . Shortly after, a body is found by the professor' s precious standing stone in the manor grounds. Donald and Maria discover tensions, disputes and resentment raging below the surface of this idyllic village, but can they find out which of the villagers is a cold-blooded killer?
