Description
On the eve of his marriage to a wealthy society woman, Sir Denis Brinsley is confronted with an incident, passionate and disturbing, from his past, in the person of the beautiful Mrs Helen Davenport. It transpires that she is being blackmailed, and she demands his help, offering to sell him certain indiscreet letters written fourteen years earlier that will probably prevent his marriage if they are made public. Brinsley refusing on the grounds of inability and disinclination, Mrs Davenport is shortly afterwards found strangled. Through a network of damning evidence, of conflicting clues, of deliberate treachery, the solution is ultimately reached through the ingenuity and patience of the young politician, Scott Egerton, who solved *The Tragedy of Freyne*, and who eventually brings a brutal and sordid murder to a logical and amazing conclusion.
