On a dismally foggy night in Hampstead, London, a curious party has
gathered in an artist's studio to weather the wartime blackout. A
civil servant and a government scientist are matching wits in a
game of chess, while an artist paints the portrait of his
characterful sitter, bedecked in Cardinal's robes at the other end
of the room. In the kitchen, the artist's sister is hosting the
charlady of the miser next door. When the brutal murder of said
miser is discovered by his Canadian infantryman nephew, it's not
long before Inspector Macdonald of Scotland Yard is at the scene,
faced with perplexing alibis and with the fate of the young soldier
in his hands.
