When the young baronet, Sir Matthew Jerningham of Brumblingham Hall dies suddenly, it is initially suspected that a tragic illness is to blame. But when suspicion falls the baronet's brother-in-law, Captain Propert Crosse, the Captain's sister turns to her lover Ralph Larkman to clear the Captain's name. A talented lawyer, Ralph has his work cut out. But was Sir Matthew really murdered? And if so, who is responsible if not the man who had most to gain by his death?
Originally published in 1911, this vintage story of a mysterious death is memorably set in a vanished world of grand country houses and Edwardian high society.
