The story revolves around Herbert Vidal, an investigator of crime, who is drawn into a puzzling case involving the mysterious death of a wealthy old man named Vernon Gregory. The narrative unfolds in the seaside town of Cromer, where Vidal becomes intertwined with a series of eccentric characters and peculiar events that suggest deeper, hidden motives behind Gregory's passing and the reappearance of his nephew. The opening of the novel introduces Vidal and Major Keppell, who discuss the curious circumstances of Gregory's habitual morning walks and his sudden death, found early in the morning by a coast-guard. As Vidal investigates further, he discovers that Gregory might not even be who he claimed, leading to a complexity of identities involving his nephew, Edward Craig. These initial chapters not only establish an intriguing setting but also pose numerous questions about the relationships between these characters, hinting at deception and a web of secrets yet to be unraveled.
