It all began when Sir John Appleby, retired Chief Commissioner of Metropolitan Police, was visiting Allington Park, a partially restored estate dating back to Charles First. While exploring a specially built gazebo with the owner, Sir John noticed a bundle of stuff in a corner of the room. Stooping to examine it, he said grimly: "It's a man and I think he's dead." So begins this amusing if tragic divertissement of repeated death by misadventure or perhaps otherwise. An old castle, a gay village charity fete, a unique assembly of human oddments among the characters - these and a legendary lost treasure add up to what, in Sir John's words, "that chap in Baker Street called a two-pipe mystery."
