Here dwells Hermes Pimm lately retired from M.I.6 following his wife’s tragic death, now wearing the mantle of Private Investigator. Presently at loose ends, his brother-in-law, a renowned Barrister, draws him into a case involving a former classmate at Sandhurst. This playboy brother to an Earl has financed his escape from ruin by plundering his sister’s estate. The family wish the matter settled discreetly, but before Pimm can deliver their terms to the miscreant, he is found murdered in Pimm’s own apartment, run-thru with a saber from his prized collection of military swords. During the ensuing quest to clear his name, he develops a romantic interest for an attractive widow of past acquaintance. Retaining his focus, he pays a visit to Lady Mayfield, the Earl’s wronged sister at her Horse Farm in the country and there stumbles upon the first solid clue to her brother’s murder.
