Marcellus and Tay's cover is at risk when figures from their past arrive in Pompeii. Then one of the new arrivals is found murdered and another is accused of murdering him. The accused is innocent but how can Marcellus and Tay prove it without blowing their cover?

Another enjoyable outing for Marcellus and Tay as they successfully negotiate the treacherous waters of small-town politics. As usual their combination of Jeeves and Wooster and Holmes and Watson is a joy to watch and we get some tantalising hints about Tay's past. ( )
