In the 1930's young librarian Lucy Merrydew is about to marry into the wealthy Bolsover family when she receives a threatening letter accompanied by a severed finger. Private detective Johnny Black's enquiries to find out who is behind this blackest of mail takes him firstly to Buckfast Hall, the Bolsover family sesat, a seething broth of intrigue and emotions. When a body is found floating in the river, the emphasis shifts dramatically, and Black finds himself up to his neck in murder most foul.
