The Mystery of the Ashes

The Ashes is a grand and sombre country house perched on a headland on the Northumberland coast. Its wild position, betwixt sea and land, seemed to harmonize with the wild spirit of its owner, eccentric young heiress, Patricia Keene. Staffed with strange servants and riddled with secret passages The Ashes is preparing to host a murderous gathering to include: Dr Eustace Hailey, consultant in diseases of the criminal mind; Inspector Biles of Scotland Yard; and Bruce Netherby, a Harley Street physician. Their endeavour? To explain blackmail, murder and mysterious disappearances from within the walls of… The Ashes.
