Poirot is convalescing from influenza while Hastings travels to a lonely Derbyshire shooting lodge after Roger Havering reports the overnight murder of his uncle, Harrington Pace. Hastings accepts instructions to act as Poirot’s representative as Inspector Japp and local police examine the scene. The housekeeper describes a bearded visitor who was shown into the gun-room, raised voices were heard, and a single shot then revealed the victim locked inside while the stranger apparently escaped through a window, setting in motion an investigation into motive and the means of the killer.
