When the barrister Ashley Tempest is called in to assist the trustees of the late Sir John Rellingham, he finds himself faced with a tantalising mystery: why has Sir John established a trust to safeguard £20,000 of his inheritance, without telling the trustees for whom, or for what reason the money is to be protected?
