About This Book
A country gentleman's tranquil life is disturbed by a small domestic alarm that presages escalating intrigue: petty mischief develops into theft and accusation, unsettling a tight-knit rural household. Local constables and Scotland Yard become involved as suspicions spread, family ties and rival motives complicate the inquiry, and a mixture of surveillance, testimony, and careful deduction gradually unravels the plot. The narrative moves from garden-side intimacies to procedural investigation, exposing conspiracies and hidden loyalties before disclosing the facts behind the wrongdoing.
