When Farrar drives down to join a house party at Midwood, the country home of the Wellington Burnet, the only other guest he is acquainted with is Philip Tolefree, the insurance broker and clandestine detective. In fact, it is Burnet's sudden decision to marrry and move to the country that has brought Farrar and Tolefree together in the first place, the latter taking Burnet's place as Farrar's main clubland companion. And Burnet is about to bring the two men together again - for when the erstwhile financier is murdered, Tolefree and Farrar embark together on a dangerous hunt for the identity of their friend's killer...

Originally published in 1932, this is a vintage murder mystery from the golden age of crime fiction, and the first novel to feature R.A.J. Walling's unassuming City-dwelling sleuth, Philip Tolefree.
