Two murders take place in the seaside resort town of Southmouth near the New Forest: the first is a former army officer beaten to death and left by a rubbish tip while the second, found near by, is impossible to identify. Investigating police officers conclude that both crimes are connected to a fashionable night club The Silver Sickle.
