The old detective (Raymond Masters) arrives at a lavish, isolated, villa in the desert north of Los Vegas. He was summoned there to protect an aililng, old, millionaire, his staff, and family from a recent threat made against the household. When the wealthy old man is murdered, five relatives come forward, each claiming to have acted alone in his murder. Each is the perfect suspect with motive, opportunity, prints on the weapon, and unique knowledge of the crime scene. With the assistance of two teenage lads, Masters unravels the twists and turns, and in the end not only solves the murder at hand but several others that occurred years before.
Raymond Masters is a little bit Hercule Poirot and Sherlock Holmes all mixed together. He solves each case by stripping it back to the bare facts . I love his character he is so believable. I hope there will be more. I highly recommend this series.
