Flavia de Luce fa un'orrida scoperta. Nell'orto dei cetrioli, proprio sotto la finestra della sua camera da letto, in mezzo agli attrezzi disordinati del bravo Dogger, il giardiniere autista tuttofare, inciampa in piena notte in un corpo semisepolto; esalando l'ultimo respiro, l'uomo sussurra una strana parola: "Vale!". Poco prima, dietro la porta di una delle infinite stanze di Buckshaw, il castello di famiglia, aveva sentito parole inquietanti pronunciate in una conversazione del padre con uno sconosciuto: "Twining? Il vecchio Tazza? È morto da trent'anni...". "E lo abbiamo ucciso noi".
