From the back cover

When her in-laws are stung by an unidentified queen hornet and rushed to hospital, Belle hurries to the entomology institute where her husband Vince Sanders is director, hoping he can identify the venom and save them. He refuses to see her, tears up the critical condition notice, and leaves to care for Penny's mother instead, telling her people die every day and her parents' deaths are no great matter.

By the time Belle reaches the hospital, her in-laws are gone. Vince never learns it was his own parents who died, and when Belle later sues Penny Madison over the disturbed beehive, he appears as an expert witness to clear her with a fabricated opinion. After the funeral, a doctor's remark makes Belle suspect the attack was no accident, and she calls back the stranger who first alerted her to ask what he saw on the mountain.
