Robert Blair was about to knock off from a slow day at his law firm when the phone rang. It was Marion Sharpe on the line, a local woman of quiet disposition who lived with her mother at their decrepit country house, The Franchise. It appeared that she was in serious trouble: Miss Sharpe and her mother had been accused of brutally kidnapping a young woman named Betty Kane. Miss Kane's claims seem highly unlikely, even to Inspector Alan Grant of Scotland Yard, until she describes her alleged prison--the attic room with its cracked window, the kitchen, and the old trunks--in remarkable detail. Yet Marion Sharpe insists the girl has never been there, let alone been held captive for an entire month. Convinced that Betty Kane's story is false, small-town solicitor Robert Blair becomes an unlikely amateur detective, taking up the Sharpes' case and setting out to solve the extraordinary mystery that has stumped even Inspector Grant.
