Following a mysterious explosion, the offices of Excelsior Joinery
Company are no more; the 3 directors are killed and the peace of a
quiet town in Surrey lies in ruins. When the supposed cause of
ignited gas leak is dismissed and the presence of dynamite
revealed, Superintendent Littlejohn of Scotland Yard is summoned to
the scene. But beneath the sleepy veneer of Evingden lies a hotbed
of deep-seated grievances. Confounding Littlejohn's investigation
is an impressive cast of suspicious persons, each concealing their
own axe to grind. Bellairs' novel of small-town grudges with
calamitous consequences revels in the abundant possible solutions
to the central crime as a masterpiece of misdirection.
