En una noche oscura, a lo largo de un camino rural solitario, el abogado Frank Amberley se detiene para ayudar a una joven en apuros y descubre un coche deportivo con un cadáver detrás del volante. La chica protesta por su inocencia, y Amberley la cree, al menos hasta que se ve envuelto en el misterio y las pistas que incriminan a Shirley Brown comienzan a sumarse... En un misterio de asesinato en una casa de campo inglesa con un giro, es el mayordomo quien es la víctima, cada pista complica el rompecabezas, y la policía torpe es bien intencionada pero está completamente desconcertada. Afortunadamente, al descubrir a un asesino desesperado, el detective aficionado Amberley es tan brillante como arrogante, pero esta vez no está seguro de querer saber la verdad...

Georgette Heyer was an English novelist and short-story writer, in both the Regency romance and detective fiction genres. Her writing career began in 1921, when she turned a story conceived for her ailing younger brother into the novel The Black Moth. In 1925 Heyer married George Ronald Rougier, a mining engineer. The couple spent several years living in Tanganyika Territory and Macedonia before returning to England in 1929. After her novel These Old Shades became popular despite its release during the General Strike, Heyer determined that publicity was not necessary for good sales. For the rest of her life she refused to grant interviews, telling a friend: "My private life concerns no one but myself and my family."
