The headmistress of the local private girls schools finds a human bone whilst out walking her dogs in Black Dog Wood. The police are called and they dig up an old skeleton that is found to have been blindfolded.
The school secretary is then found murdered. Local MP Sir Giles Luscott-Whorne is the prime suspect. Unless he can prove his innocence he will be charged with murder. Sir Giles approaches Frank Shunter, a local retired police detective, to help him to find out what is really going on.
There is also a rumour of the possible discovery of a lost Agnes Crabbe manuscript. Could the murders and the manuscript be connected?
This book is the sequel to A Murder to Die For.
