Then Chatrier is killed mid-performance and it is clear that someone has a particularly vicious dislike of the man, but would anyone resort to murder?A broken love affair, a wartime betrayal and the respect of a servant for his master are some of the fragments of the past unearthed by detective Inspector Musgrave in his quest to discover just who is responsible for the funeral of Figaro...
