Publisher's Synopsis
Scandal hits the prestigious publishing house of Barnabas when one of the directors is found dead in a locked cellar. All eyes are on the other partners at the firm - cousins of the dead man with much to gain from his demise - and all rumours hint at a connection to the disappearance of another director decades earlier. Desperate to salvage their reputation, the cousins turn to Albert Campion, who must go back two decades and sort through a legacy of treachery to solve a case sure to be one of his most difficult. But will his investigations clear the Barnabas family name, or tarnish it forever?
