In a gossipy village, Humphrey Partridge is reckoned to be anti-social, indeed stand-offish.

But he always has an excuse - namely that he has to look after his ailing elderly mother. It raises eyebrows at work.

No-one has ever met the legendary matriarch. Not even nosy Raj, the local postman.

But then one morning when Humphrey is at work, Raj notices a fire in Humphrey's house, breaks in to put it out and makes an extraordinary discovery.

Soon police are digging in Humphrey's garden.

But just what is Humphrey's dark secret?
