Virginia and Felix Freer, separated but still semi-attached, are both present at the ill-fated party - Virginia because the hostess is an Australian friend returning home, and Felix because he happens to live in the flat below hers. Among the guests, Virginia discovers, are people who have a connection to an antique dealer neighbour of hers. Within a couple of days both Virginia and Felix find themselves involved with murder: Virginia in the small town where she lives; Felix in London, where another guest, on the face of it unconnected to anyone else at the party, is found mysteriously dead in an adjoining flat. Felix is convinced that the murders must be linked. But before long, he is caught up in something highly dangerous.
