"Superintendent Harry King and Chief Inspector Owen were friends.  Both worked at Scotland Yard in the anti-narcotics section.
Their wives were friends too.  The four played bridge and went out together socially, to parties, even to picnics.  It was at one such picnic that a horrific misunderstanding took place which breached the friendship between the women."
