註釋The first novel about Mr. Reginald Fortune, special advisor to Scotland Yard. It tells the story of his longest, most absorbing, most dangerous case - the affair that began with the suicide of a Mrs. Poyntz, and a memorable garden-party at Buckingham Palace; whose clues were a shadow flickering briefly on a wall, a girl who died from morphia tablets that were not morphia; a little man in Switzerland who made a perfume labelled Le Matin d'un Faune; a dead monkey. Two women, one man were dead also before the outlines of the case cleared, and Reggie Fortune could fling the whole force of his courage and ingenuity against a murderer who could be charming at garden parties, while careers were destroyed, the happiness of innocent people crushed, and cold-blooded murder removed the men and women who were in the way.
