About This Book

A young couple's social scene is disrupted when a strange advertising poster and a matching corpse prompt a private investigation. The protagonist pursues a web of odd clues — a fragmentary musical motif, a speaking likeness, torn fabric noises, locked rooms and vanished messages — across drawing rooms, vaults and society gatherings. The inquiry uncovers stolen jewels, a valuable plate, impersonations and photographic evidence, and uses a staged trap and technical proof to unmask deception. The narrative combines detection, suspense, and social intrigue as hidden relationships and clever devices are revealed and reconciled.
