Robert Amiss, a civil servant, has been seconded to the British Conservation Corporation for a year. He is not happy about it but doesn't feel he has any choice in the matter and prepares himself for a year of boredom. Gradually he does come to like a few of his staff even the practical joker, Tiny. But then, more than half way through his secondment boxes of chocolates are sent to the wives of his colleagues for St Valentine's Day. The chocolates are poisoned and the result is several deaths. Robert finds himself helping Superintendent Jim Milton with his enquiries once again.
