 An investigation into the disappearance of Matthew Farley leads the police to Brookfield Court, a funk hole where the rich can sit out the war in relative luxury and avoid the dangers of London. They also see a connection to a robbery at a nearby food depot where one of the robbers was shot. Foyle is suspended for suspicion of sedition when someone identified as him preaches appeasement during an air raid. CI James Collier is assigned to the case and takes over for Foyle. When one of the Brookfield Court hotel guests dies, Collier believes it to be suicide but Foyle has his doubts. Foyle s son Andrew has a crash and while he s home with his Dad recovering, starts to spend time with Sam.
