This is a typical Durbridge thriller and has all the expected ingredients to keep the audience guessing the outcome.

Shortly after returning from a trip abroad, a successful businesswoman, Stacey Harrison, is attacked by a strange man, and in the ensuing struggle, she kills him. But, was the man a stranger?

It takes a second murder, and an attempt at a third, before a tale that also involves shady dealings in the world of forged paintings, is finally unravelled.

There are interesting relationships in this play, and it is certainly not all doom and gloom!
