ynopsis
On the moor west of St. Ives, an artists colony has been running on the site of a disused mine, run by the married astrologers Archer and Lina. Their latest member is the shadowy and beautiful Francine, who hopes on investing a legacy into the business. Because of her Scorpio star sign, Archer isn't convinced, although Lina soon accepts her offer.
However, the trouble begins when Francine is found dead, killed by a deliberately blocked gas heater. Wycliffe soon makes his presence known as a murder investigation commences, and he quickly learns that several of the creative souls assembled have justifiable reasons for not wanting the police intruding on their private affairs...
