His main diversion was the pursuit - idealistic, expensive, and almost always vain - of unsuitable women. At the start of this story he is in the clutches of Irma, a very young and mysterious German adventuress. Because he is fond of his father Tom is worried. He arrives at the villa fresh from his finals at Oxford and takes an immediate dislike to Irma. Soon there looms, out of Irma's past, the threatened vengeful appearance of her husband, a German Graper. The anticipated arrival of Herr Gantzenhausen hangs like thunder round the villa and reduces its inhabitants to a state of siege. The murder comes almost as a relief....
