Philip Tolefree is invited to Wolborough Castle, ancestral seat of the Meriden family, by Stratton, a mutual friend of Tolefree's associate Farrar. Staying at the Castle whilst brokering a deal to sell a valuable triptych, Stratton suspects that some sort of sinister conspiracy is being played out. First, his room is ransacked, apparently in an attempt to steal the money he has brought with him to pay for the antique painting. Secondly, Eric Yves, a longstanding thorn in Stratton's side, and a fellow-guest at the Castle, has completely vanished - but how did Yves get out of the building when every single entrance and exit had been locked and bolted for the night? When Tolefree himself discovers a corpse in a secret passage, the riddle of Yves's disappeance is apparently solved. Book.
