Plot summary

The story starts in 1911 with the mysterious disappearence of one of the members of the Barnabas family, a leading publishing house in London. After the initial investigation, the mystery soon disappears from the public's mind, and the remaining cousins continue the family business.

Twenty years later, another member of the same family has also gone missing, and Albert Campion, a friend of the family, is brought in to find the wayward cousin.

This time, the missing cousin shows up dead. The obvious suspect is the youngest of the Barnabas cousins, who also happens to love the dead man's wife. Campion must delve deep into the Barnabas family history to find real murderer, but finds much more than he expected.

Adaptation

The story was adapted for television for the BBC in 1990, starring Peter Davison as Campion and Brian Glover as Lugg.
