A collection of short stories about guests at a hotel in the south of France shortly before the First World War engaged in international intrigue. Mr Laxworthy cleverly learns their secrets and seeks to profit by this knowledge.

The King's Cross restaurant is nearly empty when a timid London clerk overhears a few muttered words at a neighbouring table - a young woman is to be followed, and dealt with roughly if she proves troublesome. Before he can talk himself out of it, he is on a northbound express, pursuing the men and the girl they mean to harm. The journey ends on the windswept moors of Northumberland, where a tumbledown house sits alone against the sky. An out-of-work navvy has already taken shelter there, and soon a pair of young adventurers join the vigil. But the house is not as empty as it appears. Something beneath it gives a hollow boom, a professor works against his will, and a ruthless schemer will stop at nothing to protect what is buried below. First published in 1928, this thriller of treason, courage, and a secret that must never see daylight is vintage British mystery at its most atmospheric.
