Danvers Carne has always found it easy to win devoted admirers and deadly enemies with seemingly equal ease. But a planned trip to Marpen Hall for a house party at which every guest has good reason to wish him dead leads his wife to seek the help of noted psychologist Doctor Jerrold. But when Carne dies in a hunting accident, Jerrold makes an appeal of his own - to his old friend Simon Brade, connoisseur of Chinese antiques and talented amateur detective. Was Carne's death more than mere accident? And what is the significance of the missing string gloves?
