Its starts with a woman stalked on a lonely hilltop with a lone sniper shooting at her. The next day D.I. Lomax, already in a complicated relationship with a married woman with a crippled husband in hospital, receives an anonymous letter claiming that psychiatrist Dr Stephen Hayward has murdered his wife. Certainly Hayward is a little creepy, but does this make him a killer? Without a body it's hard to prove otherwise, but someone is determined to paint him a killer as the anonymous letters continue. Just what is going on? As it turns out, something far more complex and sinister...

Starring Jon Finch, Christopher Lee, Judy Geeson, Tony Beckley, Dilys Hamlett, Jane Merrow, Colin Jeavons, David Trevena, Adrian Cairns, Daphne Neville, Hugh Smith-Marriott, Hubert Tucker and David Langford. This is another of the videos I was fortunate enough to save from Mick's Nostalgia Channel before it disappeared on Youtube, and contrary to expectations this doesn't feature Dick Van Dyke but is a somewhat clever TV thriller involving star names Christopher Lee and Judy Geeson. The detective character is a little sordid at times, but each character in this has a role in the mystery that culminates in a lovely pay off climax and twist ending that I didn't expect. Enjoy.
