Alec Price dies after drinking poisoned wine whilst being received into the local Masonic Lodge. At his wake another mason dies, seemingly a random victim, having eaten a poisoned cake. Jim learns that the lodge were raising money to build a community hospital on the island but the funds have disappeared. Jim knows that the killer was one of the other masons but the culprit's motives turn out to be very strange indeed. The case solved, Jim is reunited with Susan, who, fed up at being neglected because of his work commitments, has had an affair with another man.
