Synopsis
This is a mystery centring on an old mansion in Wiltshire and the strange death of its owner, Sir George Fleet, which took place 20 years before. After his death, the house is taken over by his son Richard, and all seems quiet until a local auction brings a motley crew to the area which includes Dowager Lady Brayle, her young niece Jenny, her pursuing admirer Martin and Sir Henry Merrivale, a man who is quick to discover that a mystery exists and whilst trying to unravel it becomes involved with such curious things as a ghost hunt in a disused prison and a real skeleton in a clock, which with a motionless pendulum, goes tick, tick, tick...Carter Dickson was a pseudonym of John Dickson Carr (1900-1958), author of over 70 novels many of which featured the awesome Sir Henry Merri vale.
