Once again we are in the cosy, but slightly scary, world of private eye Teddy Bean. It is 1959 and into his life comes a new client, Brian Amory, who claims he is being followed.
Meanwhile, in a quiet leafy street in a north London suburb a woman is brutally murdered in her hallway. Teddy becomes unofficially involved in the case when Amory's wife finds the murder weapon in the wardrobe and another client brings him an incriminating letter.
And then, one cold December night, Teddy unwittingly walks into danger when he finally unmasks the murderer.
