On the estate of Verner’s Pride, young Rachel Frost is found drowned in the Willow Pond, and the village is full of rumour about the tall gentleman seen in the lane. Lionel Verner expects to inherit the house, but a will, a family secret and the death of Rachel all cast long shadows, while his outspoken brother Jan, the village doctor, provides comic relief.
