When French gets there he finds not only the victim but missing diamonds and money from an open safe. There are meager clues as the Inspector follows a trail to mainland Europe and back. There are many false clues and several suspects with much of the searching leading to nothing but dead ends.

About the author
Freeman Wills Crofts
The author, Freeman Wills Crofts (1879–1957), was ill for a prolonged period but spent time turning out his first novel in 1919. It caught on and he was soon recognized as a respected creator of detective fiction. That led to this book about Inspector French in 1924 and the Scotland Yard investigator became his favorite character. This was a big beginning for his literary work and he turned out a book practically every year over the next three decades.View all by Freeman Wills Crofts
