Miss Marple senses danger when she visits a friend living in a Victorian mansion which doubles as a rehabilitation centre for delinquents. Her fears are confirmed when a youth fires a revolver at the administrator, Lewis Serrocold. Neither is injured. But a mysterious visitor, Mr Gilbrandsen, is less fortunate – shot dead simultaneously in another part of the building.
Pure coincidence? Miss Marple thinks not, and vows to discover the real reason for Mr Gilbrandsen’s visit.
Thus dramatisation by Michael Bakewell for BBC Radio 4 features June Whitfield as Miss Marple with Ursula Howells, Jill Balcon and Keith Barron.
Running time: 2 hours 15 minutes.
