Set in the elegant backdrop of Chimneys, a grand English estate, what begins as a playful prank among friends quickly turns deadly when one of the guests, Gerry Wade, is found dead under mysterious circumstances.

As Bundle investigates, she is drawn into the shadowy world of “The Seven Dials,” a covert group with dangerous secrets and political stakes. With the help of familiar characters—like Superintendent Battle, and a cast of eccentric aristocrats and cunning adversaries—the plot unfolds with vintage Christie flair, mixing humor, danger, and a touch of romance in perfect measure.
