They soon expose strong motives for placing the blame on the ploughman’s shoulders, some unpleasant secrets festering among the villagers, as well as the whisper of a treasure long lost and now rediscovered.The shadow the noose casts is a long one, but the Sherrif’s men will need to plumb the darkness to uncover the true killer.
