| Summary: | "December 1921. Being single and a new Chief, Inspector Rutledge of Scotland Yard gets the short straw at Christmastime and is calledupon by Chief Superintendent Markum to go to the Kentish home of a lord recovering from an attempt on his life. In bed with a concussion, the man is convinced someone is trying to kill him after he claims he was struck by the hoof of a running horse whose rider never stopped to check on him.

And as the winter holiday approaches, he becomes increasingly convinced that nothing is as it seems"-- |
