MacGregor takes leave to return to Glasgow for the funeral of an old flame. But was her death a tragic accident or foul play?

Reluctant to leave London as usual, Dover heads north to help his grief-stricken colleague find out the truth.

Chief Inspector Wilfred Dover is Scotland Yard's most unwanted man. He's a rather rude, dishevelled, glutton, who is sent out of London to help other police forces solve local crimes along with his long-suffering 'gofer', Sergeant MacGregor. Despite his objectionable demeanour Dover has an uncanny knack of solving crimes.
