Dr Hamid Mansourian, successful consultant gynaecologist, is the man who has everything, but wants more.

When his brother-in-law, Geoffrey Lyle, is crushed to death by a mad cow during a bleak Christmas celebration, Mansourian’s wife, Margaret, inherits Thorne Hall in remotest Norfolk. Under the influence of his mistress, Nurse Mei-Mei Moon, Mansourian is persuaded to misappropriate the fortune and invest everything in the privatisation of an NHS Psychiatric Unit. In retaliation the widow, Caroline Lyle, uses blackmail and political corruption to contest the terms of the family trust fund, and Dr Mansourian finds himself bankrupt and medically discredited.

Mansourian’s adolescent daughter, Jocanda, is besotted with the Lyle’s uncouth farm labourer, Brick, who is persuaded by Mei-Mei Moon to murder Caroline Lyle. A suggestion the youth pursues so incompetently his sawn-through brake pipe kills Margaret Mansourian instead - just as she uncovers a conspiracy between Caroline and their local MP to sell the estate for a new toll-motorway development.

Nurse Moon decides Hamid must sacrifice himself and marry the widow Caroline Lyle to regain the legacy. At the wedding reception Brick, unrecognisably burnt in a hotel explosion, makes a second, successful murder attempt on Caroline.

The police close in, their suspicions fuelled by Hamid Mansourian’s malicious rival, the pathologist Dr Victoria Keene - who soon becomes Brick’s third victim. Mansourian is forced to steal Caroline’s body from the morgue; however an uncharacteristic good deed aiding a depressed patient evicted from the privatised Psychiatric Unit results in Mansourian being accused of necrophilia. Suspended from his hospital consultancy he comes under the scrutiny of Detective Sergeant Dutton of the CID.

Having lost wealth, family and professional standing, now the prime suspect for several murders, and under siege by armed police surrounding Thorne Farm, Hamid is talked by Nurse Moon into a suicide disguised for insurance purposes as a bizarre sexual experiment. Mei-Mei Moon makes her escape while Brick fulfils his dream and flees to Mexico. Hamid’s neglected daughter, Jocanda – who as the only surviving family member now inherits the estate – joins forces with his mistress at his funeral. They leave arm-in-arm to transform Thorne Hall into a New Age Therapy Centre.
