Holmes and Watson head down to Herefordshire… where an Antipodean murder mystery is playing out. 

But who has killed local landowner Charles McCarthy, two decades after he returned home from Australia with his family?  

And what light can the dead man’s final words – ‘A rat!’ – shine on the mystery?
