Following a strange compulsion, Robert Harcourt found himself consulting a sinister Fortune-Teller:
"I see you in a beautiful mansion, surrounded by happy faces, by festivities and joyfulness. Laughter is in the air. There is a girl there - a beautiful girl. Fair and beautiful. Do you know her?"
"Yes."
"You are attracted to her, but you hurt her. Cruelly, you hurt her. This very night I can see you hurting her so deeply that she will never forgive you. This very night...
"I will tell you how you will hurt her. This night, as the clock strikes the hour of midnight, you will take the life of a man very dear to her. You will become a - murderer!"
'A gripping murder mystery' - Thomas Waugh
