Thomas Littlejohn investigates a murder committed by the glow of a lighthouse The waterfront pub is closing up and the sailors are staggering home. World War II means a blackout in the English port town of Werrymouth, but the locals have no trouble finding their way over the Halfpenny Bridge, where a small toll shaves a mile off their drunken walk. A group of them are about to cross when a ship comes into the channel, and the lighthouse snaps on to guide its way. As the beams rake across the harbor, the sailors see two men struggling by the shore. One overpowers the other, killing him in the surf. The murderer escapes, and Detective-Inspector Littlejohn ventures down from London to find him. Two more murders follow, bringing this center of shipping to a halt just when England needs it most.

In this one we meet Titus Jackson,the Count Coroner,a man so small he has to be propped up on his chair or his head would not be seen above the bench. Also Mr Arnold Podmore,Deputy Headmaster at the local school.He rules the pupils with a rod of iron,shouting at his class "My word,I'll make you bounce! By gad,I'll dust your trousers!" The Reverend Micah Scewbody is the Pastor of the Burning Bushes Chapel and is another quite wonderful creation.
Before the case is solved,Littlejohn is faced with several difficult decisions and is at one point in very great personal danger. ( )
