"Washford was a village of granite and slate which looked as though it has grown out of the moor. Close at hand is Ashill House, the home of the Beales, and odd, reclusive family. And when the village lay-about is murdered there seems no immediate reason to connect it with the Beales. The crime soon has the top brass on the spot, including Mr. Burley's now well-known Chief Superintendent Wycliffe, who lives not far away. A second murder follows, and then a third, before Wycliffe arrives at the dramatic denourment."
"Wycliffe is called to investigate the killing of a killer in the small hamlet of Washford."
"Superintendent Charles Wycliff of Scotland Yard investigates the murder of an unobtrusive forty-four-year-old bachelor in the quiet village of Washford."
