The story centers around George Abbershaw, a pathologist who finds himself entangled in a web of mystery and potential murder during a weekend stay at an eerie old mansion called Black Dudley. As Abbershaw navigates his feelings for the charming Margaret Oliphant, he also grapples with the unsettling atmosphere of the house, where past tragedies seem to linger. At the start of the narrative, Abbershaw arrives at Black Dudley, where he is quickly introduced to a diverse cast of characters, including Colonel Coombe, the host, and several intriguing guests. The ominous atmosphere intensifies with the introduction of the titular Black Dudley Dagger, a historically significant weapon associated with a past murder. The evening takes a dark turn when the Colonel suffers a heart attack, leading to Abbershaw's suspicions about the circumstances surrounding the man's death and the presence of blood on the dagger. As the party grapples with the Colonel's demise, Abbershaw becomes increasingly aware that the tension in Black Dudley runs deeper than mere coincidence, setting the stage for a complex investigation.
