Although the case is closed Inspector Colby of Scotland Yard does not believe Lewis's death was accidental. And as Tim is hired by the dead girl's father to paint her portrait from a photograph a chain of mysterious events is set in motion which for Colby appears to confirm that Tim himself is a murderer...
