Summary
In this mystery set around Scotland and the world of smuggling, Frank Daneham tells a friend a secret he has kept for years about a wartime tragedy tied to Dominic Arden, his wife Hermione, and Colonel Bessington. The story begins in a London restaurant, where Hermione Rodenberg, a wealthy widow, is identified as the woman at the center of the mystery, and Daneham starts recounting events from 1917 that led to a death and a possible crime. The chapter list also points to investigators, hidden caches, and a journey connected with smugglers and suspicious behavior.
