The author of tonight's play claims that it is not primarily a thriller. It is, he says, the story of a marriage which is slowly going wrong, and which is altered as the result of a short but agonising experience. Yet, despite his disclaimer, the play has a thrilling plot, and a brave ending.

Tile Draycotts, Vi and Keith, live in the comfort and security of their suburban home at Iverton, near Birmingham. But the marriage has gone slightly sour. Keith, junior partner in a firm of printers and publishers, is absorbed in his work, and Vi has fallen back on the companionship of Carol Armistead, a witty and amusing young woman whose own marriage has gone astray. Then one night, the whole pattern of the Draycott's life is thrown into confusion. A policeman comes to the door with the news that a woman has just been found strangled in a nearby copse. Keith had walked past the spot about the time the murder must have been committed. Naturally Keith denies having seen anything, but soon anonymous letters begin to arrive...
