The quiet village seems hardly the place for mystery. Yet, following a car crash, a blackmail case emerges - and worse, not one, but two murders. There are multiple suspects, including a pair of twin doctors and a femme fatale, not to mention the looming presence of a US Army base. Travers enlists the help of Inspector Jewle and Sergeant Allman of Scotland Yard, and together they relentlessly chase down all the baffling clues, unpeel the mystery, and bring the villain to justice.
