A murder in the quiet English village of Chippingholt is only the first in a series of trials that will shape the lives of Brenda Scarse and her lover Harold Burton. Who is the mysterious stranger, so closely resembling Brenda's father, who was seen near the scene of the crime? And why does the dead man's widow seem so unconcerned? 

As Britain prepares to go to war in South Africa, it soon becomes apparent that this is no purely parochial affair - that the solution to the mystery is to be found in a web of political intrigue, and fraught national allegiances... 

Originally published in 1900, this fascinating detective-adventure novel is set in England and South Africa, and provides a vivid portrait of British society and attitudes at the height of Empire.
