The body was found by his son-in-law Peter Rhodes, a local antiques dealer and the victim’s wife was in London. When Fallon’s doctor advises Morse that Henry didn’t have the physical capability to hold a gun to his head, the police realize they may have a murder on their hands. When the police are told that the business arrangement between Fallon and Rhodes had fallen apart, they also have a suspect. Lewis is concerned that Morse is too close to Mrs. Fallon to be objective but in the end, the perpetrators are identified.
