Devlin vanished in flight near the Russian frontier, the British agent who was the last known to have seen him before his departure from Afghanistan was murdered, the authorities opened a file on the famous author in London: but it transpired that all the widespread strands of the mystery converged upon a chateau in Switzerland in which Devlin's widow is immured.  the operator assigned to the case, John Canfield, a most convincing specimen of the dedicated journalist, attaches himself to Devlin's daughter Sally as the most obvious loose end of thread likely to lead him to the solution: and soon the attachment takes another course which, before the entry into the powerfully guarded chateau is effected, lifts this first rate story of intrigue into the realms of high romance."
