Chris Lowndes built a comfortable career composing ratings for movies in Hollywood. But after 25 years in another country, and still silently reeling from the fatality of his much loved wife, he makes a decision to come back to the Yorkshire dales of his young ones. To help ease the move, he will buy Kilnsgate House, a rambling old mansion deep in the country. Although Chris sees Kilnsgate charming, something about the home disturbs him, a hazy discomfort that the long-empty rooms have been looking forward to him - emotions made ever more robust when he learns that the home was the scene of the murder more than 50 years before. The former owner, a dominant doctor named Ernest Arthur Fox, was supposedly poisoned by his beautiful and much younger wife, Sophistication. Arrested and taken to trial, Sophistication was found guilty and hanged for the offense. His curiosity piqued, Chris talks to the locals and queries through archives for information about the case. However the more he discovers, a lot more convinced he becomes that Sophistication might have been innocent. Ignoring warnings to leave it exclusively, he packages out to find what really took place over half of a century previously - a search that takes him deep in to the history and into an internet of secrets that lay all too close to the present.
