During a masked fancy-dress ball at Kessock House, the stately home of the Chacewater family, a set of priceless Renaissance medals is stolen from the family museum. Sir Clinton Driffield, the shrewd and unflappable Chief Constable, is called in to investigate. What begins as a clever parlour prank among the house party quickly turns deadly when an American guest is found stabbed to death beside the museum display case. As Driffield untangles the alibis, disguises, and hidden tunnels beneath the old house, he discovers that the theft is only the first move in a far-reaching conspiracy — and that the murderer may be hiding in plain sight among the marble statues on the terrace. A classic Golden Age British whodunit from the author of *The 12.30 from Croydon*.
