About This Book

Madge Sterling becomes entangled in a countryside mystery after a valuable formula and its hiding place vanish, prompting island crossings, a storm, and a stint searching a deserted yacht. The plot unfolds through episodic chapters of clue-finding, puzzling letters, secret messages and a sundial hiding place, while local pressures over a threatened sale and the arrival of suspicious newcomers complicate the investigation. Encounters with a ranger and a chemist produce tests, narrow escapes and a final revelation that ties together the missing book, the secret hiding place and the motives behind the disappearance.
