“Sir Jeremy knew who stole that necklace, and Sir Jeremy only—until those papers were stolen.” During the first world war, at a house party given at the Tower House, the estate of Sir Jeremy Sanfield, a diamond necklace worth twenty thousand pounds was stolen from one of the guests. Sir Jeremy knew the identity of the culprit, but decided to pay for the necklace himself in order to avoid a public scandal. Shortly afterwards, Sir Jeremy shut up the Tower House and left for America, never to return. Before departing, he deposited papers containing the secret of the Sanfield scandal with the firm of Gilbert, Trigg and Carew, together with instructions that the Tower House was not to be let. Twenty years later, Sir Jeremy is dead. But when the Sanfield papers are stolen, the whole affair is in danger of being made public. Worse still, when Sir Jeremy’s son relents and allows the Tower House to be rented, its new tenant meets with a mysterious accident whilst investigating the ruined castle that stands in the house’s grounds. Thrilled by these strange events, Faith Stanhope, the local doctor’s sister, decides to investigate. But with deception lurking behind every corner, Faith must choose her allies carefully if she is to unravel the mystery of the Sanfield scandal once and for all. Originally published in 1929, this is a classic detective story from the golden age of crime fiction.
