Exton Waite, A British member of Parliament and an old friend of Ramsey's dies from a supposed heart attack while taking cocaine, the reason for his death is kept secret. His body is found by his 24 year old daughter, Tessa. A few days later she goes to France to ask Ramsey for help. While there, she's followed by a mysterious man who later follows both of them back to England. Ramsey later meets Exton's lover, Isobel, who lets him know about what really killed Exton Waite.
I think the more traditional score to this works well, though let down by the rather jarring '80s digital synth intrusions that now seem a bit tasteless - at least to my unreasonably demanding sensibilities!
