First paperback edition, first printing. Published by Penguin in London, 1948. This is a very good copy. The soft covers are toned and lightly marked throughout. The corners are bumped. The spine tips are bumped and there are handling marks to the rear panel. There is a closed tear to the head of the spine. The internals are clean and without inscriptions. The text blocks are clean throughout, though with one small mark to the top. Overall, this is a very good copy.

The novel features her recurring character, Superintendent Battle of Scotland Yard, and introduces a new character, the adventurous young woman, Bundle Brent.

The novel is set in a country house in rural England, where a group of friends have gathered for a weekend party. One of the guests, Gerry Wade, is found dead in his bed, apparently from an overdose of sleeping pills. His death is initially thought to be a tragic accident, but soon after, a mysterious organisation called “The Seven Dials” begins to send cryptic messages to some of the guests, hinting at foul play.
