The body was discovered on the rocks by a stream, raising questions about the artist's death. Although he might have fallen from a cliff while painting, medical evidence indicates he had been dead for nearly half a day, despite eyewitnesses claiming to have seen him alive just an hour before. The investigation reveals six prime suspects, all artists with motives for wanting him dead. While five of them serve as red herrings, one has orchestrated a complex murder that confounds even Lord Peter Wimsey. Wimsey's fishing trip in Scotland is interrupted by the artist's death, prompting him and his loyal manservant, Bunter, to delve into the case. As they investigate, they face challenges such as the mysterious disappearances of key suspects and bicycles that complicate the inquiry. Bunter takes the lead in gathering evidence, while Wimsey meticulously verifies alibis and sifts through clues to uncover the truth. The case generates numerous theories, but Wimsey is determined to unravel the mystery. Ultimately, he and his 'council of war' reconstruct the final hours leading to the artist's demise, aiming to expose the mastermind behind this baffling crime.
