Joan Bendix is killed by a poisoned box of liqueur chocolates that cannot have been intended for her to eat.
The police investigation rapidly reaches a dead end.
Chief Inspector Moresby calls on Roger Sheringham and his Crimes Circle - six amateur but intrepid detectives - to consider the case.
The evidence is laid before the Circle and the members take it in turn to offer a solution.
Each is more convincing than the last, slowly filling in the pieces of the puzzle, until the dazzling conclusion.
