"This is a satisfyingly strange locked-room (and nailed-shutters) thriller by golden-age-of-crime-fiction master Farjeon, about whom Dorothy L. Sayers wrote: 'Jefferson Farjeon is quite unsurpassed for creepy skill in mysterious adventures.'...This 1939 puzzler is a worthy addition to the British Library Crime Classics series."
Amateur thief Ted Lyte has chosen an isolated house by the coast for his first robbery. But Haven House is no ordinary country home. While hunting for silverware to steal, Ted stumbles upon a locked room containing seven dead bodies. Detective Inspector Kendall takes on the case with the help of passing yachtsman Thomas Hazeldean. The search for the house's absent owners takes Hazeldean across the Channel to Boulogne, where he finds more than one motive to stay and investigate.
