Trevor Dene and his wife are looking forward to attending the masked ball at the Laurels - a Long Island mansion in the possession of the wealthy Tallifer family. But trouble is brewing in the form of a long-running feud with local businessman, Brent Hordern. Resenting the manner in which the Tallifers snub his 'new money', and determined to marry their daughter Jenny, Hordern has sworn to attend the ball at all costs. On the night of the party, Hordern is as good as his word - but his dramatic entrance is also the point at which Dene's trip becomes a busman's holiday. For the quarrel between Hordern and the Tallifers has become a blood feud, and the Scotland Yard man finds himself with a killer to unmask...
Originally published in 1934, this is a vintage murder mystery from the golden age of crime fiction.
