The British Secret Service, working to uncover a large-scale blackmail ring and catch its mysterious mastermind 'The Spider', find themselves at the country residence of Feltham Abbe where a fancy-dress ball is in full swing. In the tumult of revelry, Sir Ralph Feltham is found dead.
This classic country house mystery, first published in 1933, contrasts the splendours and frivolities of the English upper classes with the sombre overhang of the First World War and the irresistible complications of deadly familial relationships.
