A Murder of Quality (TV)

At the request of an old war time colleague, George Smiley agrees to investigate the murder Stella Rode, a junion master's wife at Carne School - a boy's school. As Smiley investigates, he learns that Stella was a nosy busybody who loved to learn other's little secrets and then gossip about them - or possibly blackmail them. Smiley begins to scratch at the surface of the closed knit society of Carne and soon begins to find that things are not as they seem. Secret societies, sexual abuse, and a mysterious boy, Timothy Perkins, who is either another suspect, witness, or victim.
