Carolus Deene is called in to investigate a series of spooky happenings at a boys' preparatory school. Unfortunately the ghostly charades are only the prelude to the murder of one of the teachers— a man disliked by his colleagues but always supported by the Headmaster. In a suffocatingly tense atmosphere of blackmail among the blackboards, and worse, Carolus has some chilling experiences before he solves the mystery of the curious and sinister happenings at St. Asprey's. |
