On the 21st November 1890, Julius Dunne-Smythe - a wealthy coffee manufacturer - his wife, his sister in law and his butler creep quietly out of their home in the middle of the night, sneak into a carriage and drive off, never to be seen again. When a few weeks later Dunne-Smythe's business partner discovers some discrepancies in the company's book keeping, Dunne-Smythe is suspected of embezzling the company and running away. The case is swiftly handed over to Detective Sergeant John Billings of Scotland Yard. As Billings delves deeper into the case, he finds that all the clues to the mysterious disappearance lead back to one man; the enigmatic German butler who had recently been employed by Dunne-Smythe. The butler appears to have had a disproportionate amount of influence on the family. After looking into the butler's past, Billings discovers a dark and disturbing secret which may well put the lives of Dunne-Smythe and his relatives in danger. What initially seemed like a simple case of theft, now looks like something far more sinister.This is the third book in the D.S. Billings Victorian Mysteries series, but it can be enjoyed as a stand alone novel.
