A flood in the Fen country has trapped two prison officials and their prisoner, Sarat Carp, who is on her way to the gallows for the murder of her brother. In spite of the evidence, Sister Mary Bonaventure is certain of Sarat's innocence. She uncovers a hitherto unknown connection between Sarat's friend Dr Jeffries and a woman for whose death Sarat's brother had been responsible.
