About This Book

A visitor called to catalogue the vast, disordered library of a remote coastal manor becomes entangled in a murder discovered on the beach. The narrative follows his methodical inquiry as he traces physical clues across the cliffs, examines household possessions and documents, and questions local residents and strange newcomers. Episodes of theft, puzzling photographs, and ambiguous evidence broaden the mystery, while revelations about concealed identities and past secrets gradually connect domestic oddities to violent motive, culminating in a detective-led unravelling of the estate's hidden affairs.
