A smoking room in a house in Daylesford Gardens in the smarter part of London yields a gruesome discovery. A very determined Inspector Mallett of Scotland Yard is brought in to discover the source of this outrage, and he must unravel a complex of suspicion before the murder is resolved.

The way in which an air of probability is combined with clear, terse narrative and with a good deal of subtle suburban atmosphere, proves the extreme skill of the writer.
