At the Hunt Ball in Westhampton, Sheila Delaney dances the night away with a stranger β a man who wanted only to be known as Mr X. At the end of the evening, he departed as mysteriously as he appearedβ¦
Months later, private investigator Anthony Bathurst is approached by the Crown Prince of Clorania. It seems that his majesty has been a little indiscrete with a relationship with a young lady and a blackmailer is determined to put a spanner in the works of the Princeβs upcoming marriage.
Meanwhile Chief Inspector Bannister is taking a well-deserved vacation at Seabourne when he is called on by the local constabulary to help them out. At a local dentist, the dentist found himself locked in a store room and the young girl who he was treating has been found dead, apparently injected with cyanide.
Soon the three events prove to be more related than anyone would suspect. Bathurst and Bannister find themselves on the trail of a ruthless murderer. And what exactly is the Peacockβs Eye?
