En stormfuld, regnvåd novembernat dør tre gamle mænd. En bukker under på en mudret sportsplads, mumlende: Polly!

En anden dør i sit badekar, gispende: Charley! En tredie bliver kørt ned af en bil, da han på cykel er på vej hjem fra pub’en. Han lever længe nok til med besvær at udstøde fire forståelige ord: Bilisten … basse … svin … - skidefuld! Disse sidste ord kan være nøglen til de tre mænds bratte død … men peger de også i retning af overlagt mord?

Da kriminalassistent Pascoe erfarer at det mere end antydes at kriminalkommissær Dalziel sad bag rattet i ulykkesvognen, begynder han for alvor at lede efter uærligt spil.

Listende på kattepoter forsøger han at finde ud af hvad der i virkeligheden skete den sene nat, alt imens han prøver at undgå at træde kriminalkommissær Dalziel over tæerne.

Men naturligvis lykkes det ham at få spændt godt og grundigt ben for Dalziel.

En forrygende Dalziel og Pascoe krimi
