This
time the
redoubtable
detective
is
called
to the
Lincolnshire
fen to
investigate
the
mystery
of the
frozen
flames,
which
appear
at
nightfall
in a
marsh
adjoining
the
estate
of Sir
Nigel
Merriton.
The
murder
of Dacre
Wynne is
connected
with
these
terrible
fires,
and none
but a
master
mind can
untangle
the
skein of
events,
leading
up to
the
disappearance
and the
finding
of his
body
months
after.
At the
same
time,
every
bank in
England
report
losses
in gold
in quick
succession.
The
dovetailing
of these
two
happenings
in a
plausible
manner
is done
only as
the
Hanshews
can do
it, and
makes a
story
that is
one of
the best
by these
two
popular
authors.
