International intrigue leads to murder at an English manor house in this classic mystery introducing the detection skills of Superintendent Battle.

Never do favors -- that's the lesson it would've behooved Anthony Cade to learn before getting himself wrapped up in a case of conspiracy and murder. Politician George Lomax has persuaded Lord Caterham to host a weekend party at Chimneys, his country estate. Lomax hopes to cement plans to reinstate the monarchy in Herzegovina. But when the prince of Herzegovina turns up dead, Cade has a lot of explaining to do. After all, his footprints were found on the grounds... though not inside the house.
As one criminal conspiracy leads to another, both Scotland Yard and the French Sûreté are on the scene to set things right. Soon, thanks to the detective work of Superintendent Battle, everyone's secrets -- and the secret of Chimneys itself -- will be on display.
