This is not Ted Lyte's story. He merely had the excessive misfortune to come into it,and to remain in it longer than he wanted.
Ted Lyte,amateur thief,has chosen an isolated house by the coast for his first robbery. But Haven House is no ordinary country home. While hunting for silverware to steal,Ted stumbles upon a locked room containing seven dead bodies,six men,one woman within the shuttered room.
Detective Inspector Kendall,seen previously in Thirteen Guests,takes on the case with the help of passing yachtsman Thomas Hazeldean. The search for the house's absent owners brings Hazeldean across the Channel to Boulogne,where he finds more than one motive to stay and investigate.
